Éder Militao and Thibaut Courtois returned to training this Wednesday at Real Madrid. With this, Carlo Ancelotti could recover two of his starters this Saturday

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Real Madrid hopes to empty its infirmary in the coming weeks. With the exception of Dani Carvajal (he will miss the entire season), David Alaba and Brahim Díaz (they still do not have a return date), all the players who left injured during the national team break have a good chance of reappearing shortly with the 'merengue' team. '. Two of them even hope to reappear on Saturday in Balaídos, against Celta de Vigo.

This is the case of Éder Militao and Thibaut Courtois. The goalkeeper missed the last two games (Lille and Villarreal) due to a muscle ailment, but this Wednesday he took part in the session with the rest of the group. The same thing happens with Éder Militao, who returned from Brazil before the FIFA date due to an overload in his left thigh. However, the center back trained normally and should return to the XI against the Galicians.

Mbappé and Vinicius could also add minutes against Celta

The other two Madrid stars who have not yet guaranteed their presence in Balaídos are Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. Both rested during the break and, in the case of the French striker, he has worked normally all week, although Carlo Ancelotti will wait until Friday to decide if he has him in the lineup or, like against Lille, puts him in the complement.

The current situation of 'Vini' is more complex. The '7' has cervical ailments that have prevented him from training with the rest of the squad and it is very likely that he will start on the bench against Celta or, perhaps, reappear in the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, next Tuesday in the Santiago Bernabéu. 'Carletto' recovered on Wednesday the bulk of the internationals who saw action during the break, among them Rüdiger, Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Bellingham and Arda Güler, while Modric, Valverde, Endrick and Rodrygo will return to Valdebebas this Thursday.
