Key Players Set to Return

Real Madrid has announced that they will benefit from the return of two crucial players as they approach their first Champions League match of the season. Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga are both expected to be fit for the upcoming clash against Marseille.

Xabi Alonso is gearing up for his inaugural game in the Champions League as the head coach of Real Madrid. The team is set to host Marseille on Tuesday, September 16.

Player Updates

Bellingham and Camavinga, both 22 years old, have been included in the squad of 23 for the match. This marks the first occasion this season that they will both be available for selection.

• Eduardo Camavinga: The French midfielder has been sidelined for five months due to an abductor tear sustained in April, which kept him out of the final matches of the previous season and the entire Club World Cup campaign.

• Jude Bellingham: In a remarkable turnaround, Bellingham has recovered rapidly from shoulder surgery performed over the summer. Initially, he was expected to be unavailable until mid-October.

Bellingham’s quick recovery and Camavinga’s return to fitness provide Real Madrid with a significant boost as they prepare for a challenging opening game in Europe.
