On June 3, Real Madrid will get a golden opportunity to add the Champions League to their trophy cabinet this season after winning La Liga. Los Blancos will play in the final, but face a tough opponent in the form of Juventus.
Luckily, Zidane’s side have received two huge injury boosts. The first, as reported by Marca, is the early return of Dani Carvajal to the squad and training.
The Spanish right-back suffered a grade two tear to his femoral bicep in his right leg muscle during the first-leg semi-final win over Atletico. That injury looked to rule him out of the final, but the defender is fit and will rejoin the team soon.
Unless a relapse occurs, Carvajal should be given the green light to start. This will be great for Les Merengues, as they can replace the inconsistent Danilo.
AS added more positive news to the previous claim, writing that Gareth Bale is well on his way to being fit for the Cardiff clash. The Welsh ace suffered a calf injury, but is progressing better than even Carvajal in the road to recovery.
The former Tottenham star might struggle to break into the starting eleven, however. During his layoff, Isco has shined and could be given a nod ahead of Bale.
