Real Madrid have received a major boost as teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono has recovered from a minor muscle issue and is set to return to action. The 17-year-old midfielder, who recently withdrew from Argentina’s squad due to muscle overload, has now resumed full training and will be available for Los Blancos’ upcoming fixtures, including Getafe, Juventus, and the highly anticipated El Clásico.
Mastantuono’s return comes as a timely relief for new head coach Xabi Alonso, who sees the young Argentine as a key part of his plans. Since joining from River Plate earlier this year, Mastantuono has impressed both fans and staff with his maturity, vision, and technical quality, quickly earning a reputation as one of Real Madrid’s brightest prospects.
Alonso, known for his tactical intelligence and ability to develop young players, is expected to integrate Mastantuono gradually but decisively in the coming weeks. With fixtures coming thick and fast across La Liga and the Champions League, the midfielder’s creativity and work rate could be crucial in maintaining Real Madrid’s rhythm.
Sources from Valdebebas confirm that Mastantuono completed several intense training sessions without discomfort and is “fully fit and motivated” to return.
