Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde had to be taken out of Sunday’s El Clásico against FC Barcelona with what appeared to be a minor muscle injury, but the Uruguayan player has escaped this outcome and should be available and ready to face Racing Santander this weekend, according to reports published in the Spanish press.
Courtois should also recover in time to play that game after missing El Clásico with the flu, while Arda Güler trained indoors with minor muscle fatigue. All things considered, it looks like José Mourinho could decide to make some rotations when Los Blancos visit Santander next Sunday, as some players could need rest after a very demanding and intense Clásico against Barcelona.
