Rudiger, Militao rejoin Real Madrid squad in training, expected to be available against Girona

Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger has rejoined the squad in training and will be expected to make the squad list for Sunday’s match in Girona. The German center-back has recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up in September and he will likely feature in the starting lineup alongside Eder Militao, who also completed Saturday’s training session with the group.

On the other hand, Dean Huijsen is still out and Raúl Asencio missed the session with gastroenteritis, meaning that he might not be ready to face Girona. If that is the case, both Militao and Rudiger would start having just recovered from muscle injuries, which is far from ideal.

Real Madrid visit to Girona will be a crucial one, as Los Blancos need to bounce back from their last two disappointing results against Rayo Vallecano and Elche in La Liga. While Xabi Alonso’s men are still leading the table, they need to show some improvements and reestablish themselves as a solid team away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
