Real Madrid get a significant defensive boost ahead of their LaLiga trip to Girona FC this weekend, with both Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão back available after injury.
Rüdiger returns after a two-month absence with a hamstring problem, while Militão has recovered from a muscle issue sustained earlier this month. Their return comes amid a period of instability at the back for Madrid, who had been missing key defenders for recent matches.
Coach Xabi Alonso confirmed they will be included in the squad for Sunday’s clash, calling their recovery a “big boost” as Madridaim to stay unbeaten in LaLiga. He also noted that while some players — such as Dean Huijsen — remain sidelined, the regained depth will help keep the team solid at the back.
With Rüdiger and Militão back, Real Madrid hope to reclaim defensive stability and reassert themselves as title contenders.
