Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has recovered from his injury and completed Friday’s training session with the rest of the squad, meaning that he will be available when Los Blancos visit Elche this Sunday in the first game after the FIFA break. The French midfielder suffered a hamstring injury during Real Madrid’s match against Liverpool in the Champions League.
Knowing how tricky hamstring injuries are, coach Xabi Alonso could very well decide to give Tchouameni some minutes off the bench as a precaution. The French midfielder is a crucial player for him, but Real Madrid should have what it takes to beat Elche without Tchouameni and having him fresh and ready for the team’s upcoming games will be key.
Antonio Rüdiger is one step closer to making his return from injury as well, as he did some light work on the field at Valdebebas and appears to be ramping up.
