TA: Alexander-Arnold goes to Dubai for warm-weather training, Rudiger and Joan may miss Elche

November 17th is currently the international match day. According to "The Athletic" news, as usual, Real Madrid coach Alonso will let the team rest for a few days from Thursday to Monday, but some injured players still have to continue their recovery process.

Mastantono has a groin problem, and club sources said the team is treating his injury with caution. Mastantono recently went to the Argentina team's training camp in Alicante to visit his teammates. His recovery process is still proceeding normally.

Mastantono was initially expected to be out for more than a month, but he could return before the end of December. The club compared his situation to that of Barcelona star Yamal, who also suffered a groin problem (osteitis pubis).

On November 24, Real Madrid will go to the away game against Elche in the 13th round of La Liga. According to the club, Rudiger and Joan Armene may also miss this game.

Rudiger has suffered two injuries in recent months and he wants to avoid any risks. Therefore, people around Rudiger believe that it would be too early to return against Elche. After this game, he will need one to two weeks to practice with the team before he is fully ready to play again.

Joan Armene is expected to be sidelined for three weeks due to left leg muscle injury. The game against Elche coincides with the end of his recovery period, so the possibility of playing is low. Captain Carvajal will not return to the team until early 2026.

Three Real Madrid players returned to the club early from the national team due to injuries: Camavinga (slight muscle discomfort) and Mbappe (right ankle inflammation) did not go with the French team to the final game of the World Cup preliminaries against Azerbaijan, but they are expected to be in time for the game against Elche.

Huizen suffered slight groin discomfort, and the Spanish Football Federation did not allow him to participate in subsequent matches for the sake of safety. Sources close to the player have not ruled out the possibility of him playing against Elche. The club also stated that Huizen's injury is not serious and he is expected to travel with the team to Elche.

Some players used the holidays to train alone or go out to relax: Arnold went to Dubai to train with a professional team in warm climate conditions. Alexander-Arnold is desperate to see this help him achieve a breakthrough after a rocky start.
