Real Madrid got a major boost on Thursday as Los Blancos prepare to face Villarreal in a crucial La Liga match at Santiago Bernabeu on December 17.
Defensive midfielder Aurilien Tchouameni has regained fitness and is guaranteed to be called for the match against The Yellow Submarines.
The Frenchman got injured during El Clasico where the Whites emerged victorious 2-1, it was reported that he would miss up to two months of football due to foot injury but the 23-year-old recovered faster than expected and may even play on Saturday.
Another great news that Madridistas received on Thursday was that Turkish prodigy Arda Guler’s debut has now become just a matter of days as the 18-year-old has recovered from his injury and is already training with the ball.
Guler went through a number of injuries as despite becoming a Real Madrid player in July, he has not yet played a single match for the Whites.
The Turk underwent meniscus surgery in August and just when he was about to mark his return, he suffered an injury to the left rectus femoris muscle on September 26.
Another thing that went in The Whites’ favour was star attacker Vinicius Junior was seen training with the ball. The Brazilian got injured during the international break and was reportedly to be out till February but he has already started training and could be soon back on the pitch.
It must be noted that Madrid's first-choice Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao tore their Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL) at the start of the season and they are likely to participate in the latter part of the season if they are allowed by the club’s medical staff.
Real Madrid's injury list and their likely return time:
Arda Guler (December)
Eduardo Camanvinga (January)
Vinicius Junior (January)
Dani Carvajal (January)
Eder Militao (March)
Thibaut Courtois (April)
