Los Blancos were back in La Liga this weekend as they took on local rivals Getafe in the Spanish capital.
A clash sparked a run of four consecutive away games for the reigning champions in December and the Whites are expected to receive key injury news in the coming days.
Aurelien Tchouaméni returns
According to reports from Marca, French international Aurelien Tchouaméni is set to return to action for the league trip to Athletic Club on December 4.
Tchouaméni was sidelined for a month with a sprained ankle and the club is looking to manage his recovery, but he is now ready.
A new player back in the race is a key aspect for Real Madrid as the title race begins to tighten, and the midfielder’s return to the engine room will allow for rest and rotation in all competitions .
