According to the latest report from AS, Trent Alexander-Arnold may return to the squad for the match against Rayo Vallecano this weekend, while Rüdiger is expected to need another week before he can participate in full training.
According to reports, Real Madrid held a training session on Sunday, with the starting players from the previous match undergoing recovery training. There was good news during the session: Trent Alexander-Arnold completed part of the training with the team and performed well.
Although he may not be able to participate in the Champions League match this week or travel with the team to Lisbon, his recovery is in its final stages, and he is expected to be included in the squad for the match against Rayo Vallecano on February 1st.
He has played less than 500 minutes this season, and rumors that Arbeloa was not considering him have been quickly refuted by Real Madrid, who confirmed he is the first-choice right-back for the next few seasons.
When he returns, perhaps in the match against Rayo Vallecano, Arbeloa will have two right-backs available, as Carvajal is also ready, although he is still some way from his best form.
Rüdiger is also in the final stages of his recovery, currently training individually, but making good progress. He is expected to need another week before joining team training and could return in mid-February.
