Real Madrid are gearing up for tomorrow's match against Girona (9 pm) while grappling with uncertainties following their recent defeat at San Mamés. However, today brought some positive news at Valdebebas. Both David Alaba and Vinicius Junior were seen training under Carlo Ancelotti’s guidance, signaling their potential returns.

Alaba's progress is particularly noteworthy, as December marks one year since his serious knee injury. If his recovery continues as planned, he could be back on the pitch by January. His return is crucial for Real Madrid, who have faced a shortage of center-backs this season, especially after Éder Militão’s long-term injury and Nacho's departure. While Asencio has stepped up in defense, Alaba’s versatility, especially his ability to cover both center-back and left-back positions, will be a welcome boost for the team.

Vinicius, who has been sidelined with a muscle injury since the match against Leganés, is also making strides in his recovery. Initially expected to be out for a month, he may return ahead of schedule. He has already missed key games against Liverpool, Getafe, and Athletic Bilbao and will miss Girona as well. While his participation against Atalanta next Tuesday remains doubtful, there is hope that he could be back for the match against Rayo Vallecano on December 14th.
