real madrid handed double injury boost for getafe clash

La Liga leaders Real Madrid have been afforded some positive news on the personnel front, ahead of their next outing. This comes amid confirmation that both Kylian Mbappé and Franco Mastantuono will be available to face Getafe this weekend. Both frontman Mbappé and youngster Mastantuono of course sparked concern in Spain’s capital during the international break. In the case of the former, as much came owing to a relapse of the ankle injury suffered in Real Madrid’s prior outing against Villarreal. Mastantuono, meanwhile, was sent home from international duty with Argentina, whilst suffering with a case of fatigue. By Matt Law | 28 Nov 2024 09:58, Last updated: 25 Nov 2025 10:03

Real Madrid will be aiming to bounce back from a disappointing result in the Champions League when they resume their La Liga campaign at home to Getafe on Sunday afternoon. Los Blancos lost 2-0 to Liverpool in Europe on Wednesday night, with the result leaving them down in 24th spot in the Champions League table and only just clinging onto a playoff spot. Carlo Ancelotti's side have won their last two in league, though, which has left them second in the La Liga table, four points behind the leaders Barcelona with a game in hand. Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Getafe, who are down in 15th position in Spain's top flight. Real Madrid have received a major boost ahead of the La Liga match against Getafe on Sunday as Kylian Mbappe will be ready to be included in the team for the game. According to Spanish media reports, Mbappe is set to play against Getafe after pulling out of the France squad against Iceland.

The French striker sustained an ankle injury and went off in the 83rd minute before scoring once in France's FIFA World Cup qualifier win over Azerbaijan last week. Mbappe has been instrumental for Madrid in the ongoing campaign, scoring nine times in eight games. Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward has also scored five goals in just two games in the UEFA Champions League. Mbappe also scored against Villarreal for Madrid in a 3-1 victory in La Liga before the international break. He left the game in the closing stages of the game but returned to the scene against Azerbaijan. Real Madrid have received good news ahead of their La Liga clash with Getafe, as Kylian Mbappe has returned to full training and is set to be available for selection on Sunday.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, the French superstar joined his teammates without any issues following a minor ankle problem sustained while on international duty. Earlier today, we reported that Mbappe was still feeling discomfort in his ankle and remained a doubt for this tie. However, he trained normally, providing Real Madrid a massive boost. With Mbappe back, Xabi Alonso now has his full contingent of players who travelled with their national teams. Recent returns include Vinicius Jr., Eder Militao, Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, and Brahim Diaz, giving the new coach more options ahead of a busy schedule. It wouldn't be a typical season at Real Madrid if the squad wasn't riddled with injuries, most of them to key players in the squad, which has a major impact on performance and results,...

So far this year we've seen the backline get torn apart by injuries, with only Raul Asencio and Alvaro Carreras managing to stay injury free (knock on wood). Injuries to players like Eder Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Dani Carvajal are the ones most felt in the defense. Both Militao and Alexander-Arnold are sidelined with hamstring injuries and Dani Carvajal is out after a knee operation, with all of them expected to be out for a number of months, leaving Xabi Alonso's... Adding these injuries on top of the recent poor form of Los Blancos and been some pretty dark times for fans these last few months. However, thankfully Madrid have finally gotten some good news during their injury crisis and it could be the catalyst for the turnaround the club needs. As pointed out by The Madrid Zone on X both of Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold have returned to training after the winter break, stepping up their road to recovery with both aiming to...

Whether either of them will be back in the squad for the upcoming Spanish Super Cup clash against Atletico remains to be seen, but one can only hope. Real Madrid have on Friday been afforded some altogether timely positive news on the personnel front. This comes amid confirmation that attacker Rodrygo has returned to group training alongside the rest of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. The subject of injuries has of course dominated the headlines in Spain’s capital once more over the course of recent days. This comes after Real’s lengthy absentee list, already featuring the likes of Aurélien Tchouaméni, Éder Militão, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Rodrygo and Vinícius Jr, was added to by Eduardo Camavinga. The French midfielder is expected to be sidelined for the next three weeks with a hamstring problem suffered en route to a 2-0 Champions League defeat at the hands of Liverpool.

Real Madrid have two big matches coming up: a La Liga match against Real Sociedad and their first Champions League match against Marseille. The club sit top of the La Liga table with nine out of nine points in their first three matches. With the season ramping up, Xabi Alonso will have been pleased to get a double injury boost in the team's latest training session. According to Marca, Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga were back to training with Real Madrid. Both were spotted participating in drills with the first team members who are not on international duty.
