Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has received a major boost ahead of this weekend\u2019s El Cl\u00e1sico clash against Barcelona, as Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Dani Carvajal have all been declared fit and available for selection. The trio\u2019s return comes at a crucial time for Los Blancos, who are aiming to maintain their grip at the top of La Liga and extend their dominance over their fierce rivals.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the club have confirmed that all three players have completed their recovery and rejoined full training with the first team. However, Alonso and his coaching staff are expected to manage their minutes carefully to prevent any recurrence of injuries. The Spaniard is keen to strike the right balance between intensity and caution as Madrid prepare for one of the most high-stakes fixtures of the season.<\/p>\n
Dean Huijsen\u2019s availability strengthens Real Madrid\u2019s defensive options, giving Alonso more flexibility at the back. Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s return adds a creative spark from the right flank, with his trademark crossing and passing range expected to bolster Madrid\u2019s attacking play. Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal\u2019s presence brings leadership and experience in defence, attributes that could prove vital in such a high-pressure encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
