Xabi Alonso, the head coach of Real Madrid, received a strong boost before the match against Juventus in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, as the duo Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao are ready to participate with the team.

Real Madrid is set to face Juventus this evening, Tuesday, in the Round of 16 of the tournament, at Hard Rock Stadium at 10 PM Cairo time.

The Spanish newspaper "AS" reported that Carvajal and Militao have reached a stage that allows them to participate for a few minutes, with the final decision resting with coach Xabi Alonso based on the flow of the match.

Carvajal returns to the team after a nine-month absence due to injury, while Militao makes his first appearance since his injury during the match against Osasuna in November 2024.

In the last training session, both Carvajal and Militao participated fully with their teammates in preparation for the anticipated match against Juventus.

It is worth noting that the winner of this match will face the qualifier from the match between Borussia Dortmund and Monterrey in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
