Real Madrid handed injury boost for El Clásico | OneFootball

Real Madrid have been afforded a considerable boost on the personnel front, for the club’s upcoming showdown with Barcelona.

This comes amid confirmation that Brahim Díaz has been passed fit to feature in the first El Clásico of the term.

Versatile attacker Brahim was for his part condemned to a spell on the sidelines last month, owing to a tear in the adductor longus muscle of his right leg.

The initial expectation at the time of the injury being confirmed was that the Moroccan international would not return to competitive action for a spell of around three months.

In turn, it came as a major surprise when, earlier this month, Brahim was spotted back out on the grass, for individualised training.

The 24-year-old has since ramped up his recovery further, too, by way of a return to group training alongside the rest of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

And, as alluded to above, as much has proven enough to give rise to the medical green light for this weekend.

As showcased below, Brahim has been included in Real Madrid’s squad to face Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday night:
