Good news at last for Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé
In Madrid there was concern about the injuries suffered by Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Brahim Diaz during the Champions League defeat to Liverpool.
Real Madrid have been given a huge boost by the news that Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Brahim Díaz have shaken off the blows they suffered in Wednesday's Champions League defeat to Liverpool at Anfield and will play Getafe on Sunday (December 1) . 10:15 am Dutch time).
This will come as a huge relief for Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is dealing with a spate of injuries.
Real Madrid latest injury update
The Italian will have to make do without Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, David Alaba, Vinícius Júnior, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, the latter was injured at Anfield. With just two days to go before the LaLiga match against Getafe, Rodrygo is still on the doubtful list, which could bring good news if he recovers in time.
In Madrid there was great concern about the condition of Mbappé, Bellingham and Díaz, three key players. A feeling that is understandable given the team's injury problems this season. Members of the squad have suffered 23 different injuries, some of which, such as those of Carvajal and Militão, came at the end of the season.
Six players were sidelined in the last four games alone. The match at Anfield saw Camavinga added to the list, with the French midfielder expected to be out for around three weeks with a hamstring injury. That time frame puts his participation in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final in Qatar on December 18 in doubt.
Vinícius Jr focuses on the FIFA Intercontinental Cup
The Intercontinental Cup is a target for Vinícius, who suffered a similar injury in the last league match against Leganés. Until then, Real Madrid has to deal with a busy schedule that complicates Ancelotti's plans.
They have games against Getafe, Athletic Bilbao (a match brought forward due to Madrid's participation in the Spanish Super Cup), Girona, Rayo Vallecano, Atalanta and Sevilla, all before the end of 2024.
In any case, Mbappé, Bellingham and Brahim have provided much-needed relief for Ancelotti.
