Real Madrid receive key December injury boost

Real Madrid are on course for a busy run of fixtures in December as they build towards 2025 with confidence.

Los Blancos are back in La Liga action this weekend when they take on local rivals Getafe in the Spanish capital.

That game will lead to four consecutive away games for the defending champions in December and they should receive some important injury news in the coming days.

According to Marca, France international Aurelien Tchouameni is on course to return to match action for the league trip to Athletic Club on December 4.

Tchouameni was sidelined for a month due to a sprained ankle while the club worked on his recovery, but he is now ready.

Another player back in contention is an important aspect for Real Madrid as the title race heats up, and Tchouameni's return to the engine room will allow rest and rotation in all competitions.
