Real Madrid breathe easy as key players return to the squad
Rodrygo is back for Real Madrid

Real Madrid have had a ton of injury problems this season but it looks like things have begun to turn around for Los Blancos. A number of key players like Marcelo, Valverde, Rodrygo and Odriozola are fit once again and have been named for the upcoming match.

Zinedine Zidane has named a 21-man squad for their upcoming game against Real Sociedad including all the returning players. Los Blancos are aiming to close the gap on title rivals Atletico Madrid with a positive result.

Real Madrid have performed well despite having injury problems

Real Madrid have done really well in February even with all these injury problems where Zidane had to use Castilla players for key matches. Players like Sergio arribas, Blanco ,Hugo Duro, Chust and Park  were all called up to the senior team to make up for those key absentees.

Rodrygo who suffered a muscle injury in December is back fit and will be vital for Zidane in the crucial stages of the season. Marcelo is also back after suffering a injury problem and provides back-up for Mendy at left-back.

Valverde’s season has not lived up the billing so far but the Uruguayan will hope to be back at his best after his recent injury struggles. It’s been a while since Casemiro, Kroos or Modric got some kind of rest, so Valverde’s presence will allow Zidane to rotate his midfielders more.

With the business end of the season coming, Real Madrid and Zidane will want to his squad depth more than ever. Real Madrid are currently competing in the Champions league and the league and the return of these players will boost everyone at the club.
