Boost for Real Madrid as Courtois ready to return and Alaba getting closer to team training

Real Madrid are showing full confidence in David Alaba for the 2025 campaign, with his return to action drawing nearer. Alaba is expected to rejoin team training in two weeks, providing a boost to Madrid’s defensive options. In more positive news for the squad, Thibaut Courtois is back from injury and will start in the upcoming match against Leganes.

Real Madrid’s injury crisis has left key players sidelined, with Eder Militao and Daniel Carvajal out for the season due to an ACL injuries and both Lucas Vázquez and Rodrygo recovering from month-long absences. Combined with other absences, the team faces significant challenges in maintaining form.

Meanwhile, Eurosport has reported that Xabi Alonso will leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, despite having a contract that runs until 2026. Speculation is rife that Alonso’s next destination will be Real Madrid, where he is poised to make a managerial return.

In a separate development, Relevo has reported that club president Florentino Perez expressed dissatisfaction with Kylian Mbappe, allegedly telling Carlo Ancelotti, “This is not the Kylian Mbappe I signed.”
