Two wins and two draws in four games, that’s Real Madrid’s current record. It’s clear that the Merengue club, second in the standings, is already slightly behind FC Barcelona, who have had a flawless run so far. Thus, the trip to Real Sociedad’s pitch will give the reigning Spanish champion the opportunity to make up ground on their direct rival. On the sidelines of this match counting for the 5th day of La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti recorded several pieces of good news.
As relayed by BrandJude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Ferland Mendy and Éder Militão were present at training on Thursday. Only Dani Ceballos, David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga were missing. It remains to be seen whether the first four will be available in time to be part of the game at Anoeta. The decision now lies with Real Madrid’s medical staff.
