Rüdiger, Alaba, and Lucas Vázquez are among the significant exclusions from Real Madrid’s squad list for their forthcoming encounter against Osasuna. It is anticipated that these three players will make a comeback for the pivotal matchup with Manchester City.
Madrid is all-focused on their La Liga matchup with Osasuna after an incredible comeback against City in Manchester. Players like Vinicius, Mbappé, and Fede Valverde are among the 21-man roster.
The injury list is still problematic because Rüdiger, Alaba, Lucas Vázquez, and longtime absentees Militao and Carvajal are all out. The latter three, though, are scheduled to return for the Champions League playoff second leg against Manchester City.
Ancelotti affirmed their anticipated return by Wednesday during a press conference prior to the game against Osasuna. “They will be ready for the game against City and will continue their individual training until Monday. “Lucas Vázquez will return as well,” the Italian boss said.
In the meanwhile, first-team selections still include academy players Lorenzo Aguado, Raúl Asencio, Jacobo Ramón, and Sergio Mestre. Gonzalo, a forward, will join the Castilla team. Manager ‘Carletto’ hinted at potential rotations for the game at El Sadar and indicated that Valverde will play right-back until Lucas returns.
