Real Madrid will not be able to count on all of its players for the upcoming Club World Cup, as injuries will keep four prominent players out.<\/p>\n
However, the team remains a strong contender for the title, thanks to its deep squad and the quality of players available under new coach Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n
According to Tiempo de Juego COPE, Eduardo Camavinga, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, and Endrick will not recover in time and will not play a single minute in the tournament.<\/p>\n
Regarding Alaba and Mendy, the club\u2019s management has placed their names on the transfer list, but according to sources close to them, they do not plan to leave the team at the present time. Both are hoping to regain their form and compete for a starting spot next season, despite the recurring injuries that have affected their fitness recently.<\/p>\n
Despite the situation, Real Madrid has complete respect for both players. They are still under contract, and their poor performances are viewed as a natural consequence of injury, not a technical shortcoming. It\u2019s worth noting that Real Madrid isn\u2019t known for pressuring its players to leave; players are only excluded if their performances fall below the level required at an elite team.<\/p>\n
Despite the absences, Xabi Alonso\u2019s squad remains among the best. Real Madrid\u2019s management is working to build a team tailored to Alonso\u2019s style of play, meeting many of his demands, which makes him very optimistic about his new project at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. He now has players of a higher caliber than what he had at Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid is logically considered one of the favorites to win the Club World Cup, but success will only be achieved through teamwork and harmony. Although individual skills will be important, team spirit and organized playing mechanisms are the keys to winning championships, as previous seasons have proven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
