Key Madrid Players Back from Injuries Ahead of Champions League Clash with Liverpool
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram


As the 2024-25 season of European football heats up, Liverpool’s remarkable start under the guidance of Arne Slot has sent shockwaves through the footballing world. The Dutch manager has orchestrated a stellar run, with his team securing 15 wins from 17 matches across all competitions, propelling Liverpool to the top of both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League standings. Their impressive form has made them one of the teams to watch this season.
However, the upcoming Champions League clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Anfield promises to be a thrilling encounter. While Liverpool has soared under Slot, Real Madrid has faced its share of struggles. The reigning European champions have been battling with injuries and inconsistency, making this upcoming fixture even more crucial for both sides. Despite these challenges, Real Madrid has received a significant injury boost, which could change the dynamics of the match.
In recent seasons, Real Madrid has had the upper hand against Liverpool, securing two Champions League titles in recent years under the management of Zinedine Zidane, a feat that was further fueled by major signings like Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, who joined Los Blancos over Liverpool. The last few seasons have been filled with moments of disappointment for Liverpool fans, but this upcoming encounter presents a golden opportunity for the Reds to turn the tide and overcome their European rivals once again.
The added injury boost for Real Madrid may, however, alter the course of the game. According to reports from Spanish newspaper Marca, three crucial players—Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo Goes, and Lucas Vázquez—are back in training and are expected to be fit enough to make it to the matchday squad. Courtois, in particular, is a pivotal figure for Real Madrid. The Belgian goalkeeper is regarded as one of the best in the world, and his return to the lineup would provide a significant advantage to the Madrid side as they look to contain Liverpool’s attacking firepower.
Rodrygo, who has been in excellent form this season, is another key figure for Real Madrid. His versatility in attack, alongside the likes of Vinicius Jr., provides a potent threat that could cause Liverpool’s defense headaches. Lucas Vázquez, primarily a right-back, offers additional defensive stability, which would be crucial in a high-stakes match like this.
On the other hand, several important Real Madrid players remain sidelined, with long-term injuries keeping Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal out of contention. Additionally, Aurelien Tchouameni is still uncertain for the fixture, as he races against time to prove his fitness. Despite these setbacks, the return of Courtois, Rodrygo, and Vázquez is a welcome relief for manager Carlo Ancelotti as he prepares his side for this highly anticipated clash.
For Liverpool, the match is an opportunity to continue their exceptional run this season and solidify their position as one of the top teams in Europe. At the heart of the Liverpool squad will be Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been integral to their success this season. The right-back has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, with speculation swirling about his future at Anfield. His current contract is set to expire next summer, and while Liverpool is reportedly working to extend his deal, Real Madrid is said to be interested in securing his signature, with some reports suggesting they may even offer Tchouameni in a player swap deal.
Given Alexander-Arnold’s importance to Liverpool’s setup, this match will also serve as an opportunity for the English full-back to showcase his skills on a grand European stage, as attention continues to mount around his potential move. His contract renewal has become a priority for Liverpool, as losing one of their star players for free would be a devastating blow. Despite all the rumors, Liverpool is focused on ensuring that Alexander-Arnold remains at the club long-term.
With both teams bringing their best players to the table, the upcoming clash at Anfield promises to be an exciting affair. Key Real Madrid players coming back from injuries, along with Liverpool’s desire to take a major step toward regaining their status among Europe’s elite, sets the stage for a thrilling encounter. Both sides will be determined to get one over on their opponent, making this one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures in the Champions League.
This game could not only have major implications for their European ambitions but also provide an indication of how each team will navigate the rest of the season. With Liverpool’s rapid ascent under Slot and Real Madrid’s resilience despite injuries, Anfield will be the site of another potential classic in this storied rivalry.
