📜 The squad for Girona: Xabi welcomes back four players but loses one | OneFootball

Real Madrid announced their squad list for the match against Girona on Sunday morning.

There are several new developments in the list...

There is good news. Courtois returns to goal after his viral illness, Antonio Rudiger is back in the squad for the first time since the Club World Cup, Eder Militao is back, and Franco Mastantuono is the surprise inclusion.

Xabi Alonso had already hinted that Franco had overcome his pubalgia issues, had been pain-free for ten days, and is ready to compete.

Even so, there is still bad news. The only fit center-back Xabi Alonso had, Raúl Asencio, has gastroenteritis and will miss the clash at Montilivi.

Therefore, there is still the question of what defense Xabi Alonso will field. Will he use Álvaro Carreras as a center-back again, move Tchouameni into that position, or take a risk with Rudiger and Militao...
