Thibaut Courtois and Antonio Rüdiger, absent yesterday against Rayo Vallecano, trained normally this Monday before the big Champions League clash at the Metropolitano.
Good news for Carlo Ancelotti. After missing the last match due to “a small problem”, goalkeeper Courtois trained with the group this Monday. Rüdiger too, after recovering from flu. Both players will be fit for the Champions League round of 16 second leg.
Fede Valverde was also present, still recovering from his muscular problem that prevented him from playing for three games and forced him to force his return during the first leg against Atlético last Tuesday.
3 players affected
On the other hand, Jude Bellingham remained in the Valdebebas indoor facilities, where he was treated by the club doctors for a blow received during the match against Rayo, the day he returned after a two-match suspension.
Vinicius, who suffered a slight injury to the toe of his right foot, and Rodrygo, whose left hand was injured yesterday, also remained in the gym. The three players will resume collective training with the group on Tuesday, and all will be available for the trip to the Metropolitano.
4 absences assured
The only absences assured and confirmed for this match against Atletico Madrid are those of the three defenders Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao Jesús Vallejo and midfielder Dani Ceballos.
