Mastantuono back in action, Real Madrid eye him for Girona trip | OneFootball

Real Madrid confirmed that Franco Mastantuono suffered from pubalgia after the 4-0 thrashing of Valencia and, after almost a month away from the pitch, reports from Spain state that the Argentine national team’s young star is close to returning to action and could even start against Girona.

According to AS, the 18-year-old native of Azul has managed to recover from the injury in his pubic area, and Xabi Alonso is even considering him for the starting lineup for the match at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi, in the Catalonia region, to give some rest to the team’s stars who, just days ago, defeated Olympiakos 4-3 in the Champions League with a four-goal haul from Kylian Mbappé.

The injury kept Mastantuono out of four matches for Los Blancos (Liverpool, Rayo Vallecano, Elche, and Olympiacos) and also from the Argentina national team call-up, although it didn’t prevent him from joining the Albiceleste training camp in Alicante, even though he will miss the friendly against Angola.

During his recovery, he spoke about his injury and the difficulties it caused in his adaptation to the club. “The people are incredible. I felt the love from the very first day I arrived here. That’s a big plus for a player. I also want to show my best version. Now, after this recovery, my level will start to rise, I’ll feel better, and I’ll try to give everything to the fans,” he explained in an interview with Cadena SER.
