Real Madrid has received a significant injury boost ahead of their Champions League opener against VfB Stuttgart. Manager Carlo Ancelotti expects midfielders Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, and defender Eder Militao to be available for the match.
Despite missing players Eduardo Camavinga, Nacho, and Joselu, Ancelotti is optimistic about their chances. He praised the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, calling him “the best player in the world.” Ancelotti believes that Mbappe’s addition makes their squad stronger than last year.
Ancelotti expressed concerns about the team’s grueling schedule, citing it as the reason for the recent injuries. Forward Brahim Diaz is the latest player to be sidelined. The Italian manager, who has won the Champions League five times, considers the competition “very special” and a priority.
Real Madrid will face VfB Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, kicking off their title defense. The team won the Champions League last season, defeating Borussia Dortmund in the final. Ancelotti hopes to lead his team to another historic victory.
