Strengthened by the return of Rodrygo, Real Madrid faces Getafe

Real Madrid, which has suffered from injuries to its squad, prepares for Sunday’s home match against Getafe in the Spanish league, boosted by the return of Brazilian striker Rodrygo.

In early November, the 23-year-old suffered a muscle injury during the team’s 4-0 win against Osasuña at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

In defence, David Alaba, Eder Militão and Dani Carvajal are recovering from anterior cruciate knee ligament injuries, while striker Vinicius Jr and midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni are also unavailable due to muscle and ankle problems respectively.

Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was also admitted to the medical ward, suffering a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League.

“Rodrygo will be back tomorrow. Tchouameni in the next match, and Camavinga soon,” the team’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, said on Saturday.

Champions of Spain and the Champions League last season, Real currently occupy second place in the national tournament, with 30 points from 13 matches. The team tries to catch up with league leaders Barcelona.

“In my career, only one year was relatively easy: last year. In all the others I had to solve problems. Sooner or later, problems appear,” the coach said.

“It’s impossible to think of a season like last year, when everything went perfectly. Better to find problems in November or December than in April or May. Now the problem can be solved and, as I said, we will solve it” “, he added.

“We are fighting for the title with our rival, who is doing very well. The (club) World Cup is approaching, the Super Cup and the injured are returning,” he said. “We must face this moment with joy and commitment, because good things are yet to come.”

The Italian manager continued to support French striker Kylian Mbappé, who had another disappointing performance in Real’s defeat to Liverpool. He fails to worry the English club’s defense and wastes a penalty in the second half.

“He is aware that he and everyone must improve. We must continue to support him and think that it is a collective problem and not an individual one,” Ancelotti said.
