Valverde's Status for the Match Against Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid will welcome back Fede Valverde before facing Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, scheduled to take place next Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Valverde has missed the last three matches for the team against Girona, Real Sociedad, and Real Betis due to a hamstring injury sustained after the match against Manchester City.

According to the Spanish network "Relief", the player has not fully recovered, but he will be available to participate in the European Madrid derby, amid caution from coach Carlo Ancelotti, despite the positive signs and improvement in the player's condition.

This season, Valverde has played 40 matches for Real Madrid across all competitions, scoring 8 goals and providing 6 assists, highlighting his significance as one of the key pillars in the royal club.
