Vinícius Returns to Real Madrid Squad for Espanyol Clash
His return is a key boost for the team, which is still dealing with several injury absences.
The Brazilian forward is the biggest addition to Carlo Ancelotti's list, while Eduardo Camavinga remains sidelined.
Back in LaLiga After Suspension

Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão remain unavailable due to their respective injuries.
