🔙 Rodrygo Goes, Madrid’s big return for Monaco | OneFootball

Real Madrid completed their final training session this morning at the Valdebebas Sports City ahead of the decisive Champions League clash against Monaco.

The big news of the day was, without a doubt, the presence of Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian forward trained as normal with the rest of his teammates, confirming that he is fully recovered and ready to be included in the squad list.

Alongside Rodrygo, the other positive development was the return of Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian goalkeeper, who missed the last league match against Levante due to physical discomfort, put his gloves back on at Valdebebas.

Rüdiger still absent

On the absences front, the club continues to deal with the already known injuries of Eder Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, and Antonio Rüdiger.

The defensive line remains the area most affected by injuries, forcing the coaching staff to look for emergency solutions and rely on the versatility of the available players to contain the attacking threat of the French side.

The Whites are hoping to welcome back Brahim Díaz soon. The Malaga-born attacking midfielder, who has been absent due to his participation in the Africa Cup final, will rejoin the group in the coming days.

In memory of the victims of the Adamuz accident

Before starting tactical exercises on the pitch, the Madrid squad experienced a highly emotional moment. The team observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the recent train accident in Adamuz (Córdoba).
