Real Madrid has received a significant morale boost ahead of its journey in the Club World Cup, with the participation of the defensive quartet Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba in part of the collective training, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca'.

The training session witnessed the royal club's preparations for the match against Saudi Al-Hilal, where Militao appeared in training for the first time since suffering an ACL injury last November, noting that he faced a similar injury two years ago, and his complete return to matches is expected by late July.

On the other hand, Rudiger is making steady progress in his rehabilitation program, and he is expected to be the first to return from the quartet, while Carvajal has entered the final stage of recovery from his ACL injury, with the club keen not to rush his return, especially after signing Alexander Arnold.

As for the Austrian David Alaba, he is nearing the completion of his rehabilitation program following knee surgery at the end of April, with the possibility of him participating in the tournament, although no exact date has been set for that yet.
