Clásico: Real Madrid star set to return against Barça!

Twelve days ahead of a Clásico that’s already heating up, good news could be on the horizon for Real Madrid. While FC Barcelona is grappling with a genuine injury crisis in its squad, Los Merengues might welcome back one of their key players for this globally anticipated showdown. Signed this summer to bolster Madrid’s right flank, Trent Alexander-Arnold, sidelined for several weeks, now appears poised to make his return sooner than expected.

According to the latest reports from Valdebebas, the England international is making rapid progress in his recovery program and could even be fit to play in the Clásico against Barça on October 26. This is excellent news for Carlo Ancelotti, who is counting on his distribution and attacking impact to make a difference in this pivotal fixture in the title race.

Leading La Liga with 21 points, Real Madrid currently sits ahead of their eternal rivals, who are second with 19 points. Before their face-off, Madrid will take on Getafe on October 19, while Barça will host Girona on the 18th—a final dress rehearsal before one of the season’s most eagerly awaited matches.
