Prados and Gift in end-of-year squad as Valverde selects 23 for Bernabéu | OneFootball

Valverde has named 23 players for his 504th match, likely his last, at the Santiago Bernabéu, capping three separate spells. As reported by as.com, the call comes after farewell events alongside Lekue against Celta.

Nico Williams and Sancet miss out with hamstring problems, while Unai Egiluz is sidelined with a cruciate ligament issue. Yuri will not travel after receiving his fifth booking against Celta. Berenguer drops out at the end of the campaign due to a muscle overload.

Prados returns to action, his first involvement since undergoing surgery at the start of the season. He was injured during the September break.

Vivian is also back after an ankle sprain and hopes to push for a place at this summer’s World Cup, subject to Luis de la Fuente’s plans.

With Berenguer out, Gift is added for the end-of-year trip, his second inclusion after being among the picks against Sporting de Portugal in the Champions League finale.
