Vinicius Junior is one of two doubts for the Girona clash after missing Real Madrid's match with Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid They conceded a late equalizer on Sunday night much to the frustration of the Santiago Bernabeu, but they have the chance to take control of the title race if they beat Girona on Saturday. Carlo Ancelotti could also be dealing with fitness issues for that tie.
According to Arancha Rodriguez, the good news is that Eduardo Camavinga will be fit for the tie. After the French suffered a blow that made him limp at the final whistle, but his presence is not in question.
🟢Camavinga has no problem. It will be available on Saturday.
🟡Rudiger: There is optimism that he can be here on Saturday, but it is too early to say.
🟡 Wines: Cervical discomfort is serious. Whether he can be there on Saturday will depend on his evolution.– Arancha Rodríguez (@AranchaMOBILE) February 5, 2024
However the cases of Vinicius Junior and Antonio Rudiger are less clear. With Rudiger out of the squad due to his bruised thigh on Sunday, there is optimism that he can be there. The Brazilian is also a doubt, with his upper back/neck problems described as “serious”. However, their participation is not excluded either.
Vinicius was due to start against Atletico on Sunday but left the warm-up after suffering neck pain. The fact that he warmed up briefly during the game, and was kept on the bench rather than leaving the team altogether, is a positive sign. Girona is sweating on their availability issues for the weekend, and are likely to have two players and their manager suspended.
