Real Madrid's Croatian midfielder, Luka Modric, will join the team's training sessions this Friday after missing the semifinal against Mallorca due to a viral illness.
Modric Ready to Keep Making History
Modric will take part in the recovery session scheduled for the starters this Friday afternoon and will also join the final training session on Saturday. Both practices will take place at the sports city near the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, the venue for the final. According to club sources, the Croatian, now 39 years old, is aiming to secure his 29th title with Real Madrid and the third of the season, following the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup.
A Nearly Complete Squad to Face Barça
As for Bellingham and Valverde, while they are not yet at 100%, both are expected to be available to face Barcelona. Additionally, Frenchman Aurélien Tchouaméni has also recovered after the severe head blow he suffered during the second half of the semifinal, which led to his substitution as a precautionary measure.
With Modric's return and the recovery of key players like Bellingham, Valverde, and Tchouaméni, Real Madrid heads into the decisive clash against Barcelona with optimism, aiming to add another title to their storied history.
