AS: Alexander-Arnold and Mendy are expected to play against Juventus, but it remains to be determined whether Huizen and three others can play against Barcelona.
"AS" pointed out that the El Clasico will dominate Real Madrid's key schedule this week - as the leader of La Liga, they will first face Juventus, and then start a duel with Barcelona.
Xabi Alonso is waiting for the latest progress of six injured soldiers (Arnold, Carvajal, Huizen, Ceballos, Rudiger and Mendy): Among them, the English full-back is most expected to return against Juventus, but whether Carvajal and Huizen can play in Sunday's El Clasico remains uncertain.
Arnold, who has missed Real Madrid's last six games and has not participated in this national team game, has completed some joint training programs on Monday. The starting players against Getafe are undergoing recovery training. The club are optimistic that Alexander-Arnold will be back in the lineup against Juventus after a month's absence, but there are doubts whether he will be able to step directly into the starting lineup after a long absence.
Currently all eyes are focused on the national derby. The locker room focuses on three players: Carvajal, Huizen and Ceballos. All three started their preparations with individual training this week and basically missed the chance to face Juventus. With just six days left until El Clasico, the club still lists three players as pending.
Rudiger is halfway through the recovery process from the rectus femoris muscle injury in his left leg and has been determined to miss the Derby. Another good news comes from Mendy - he has completed training with the team and is just waiting to be cleared to play.
Xabi Alonso is paying close attention to Alaba's situation. The Austrian central defender was replaced at halftime against Getafe due to physical discomfort. He has symptoms of discomfort in the soleus muscle of his right leg and will be tested on Tuesday to confirm whether there is any damage. If injury is ruled out, he will return to the squad.
