✅ Arbeloa boosted by returns, Brahim and Rodrygo fit for Villarreal | OneFootball

Real Madrid under Álvaro Arbeloa breathes a sigh of relief after the latest training session at Valdebebas.

The list of injuries and absences is starting to clear up at a critical moment in the season, confirming that Brahim Díaz and Raúl Asencio are now fully available to be included in the squad for the match against Villarreal.

The most anticipated news has been the return of Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian has trained with the group at the same pace as his teammates, which gives him a strong chance of being included in the plans of the Madrid coach. 

The defense, almost depleted

However, not everything is good news on the medical front. The Merengue side goes into the clash with a severely depleted backline: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Éder Militão, Ferland Mendy, and Antonio Rüdiger will all be out due to injury. 

On top of these injuries, Aurélien Tchouaméni will also be absent as he serves a suspension.
