Good and bad news for Real Madrid. In Saturday's training session ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash against Cadiz, Carlo Ancelotti was able to count on the presence of Karim Benzema on the pitch at Valdebebas.
The French striker has managed to overcome his muscular discomfort in the hamstring of his left leg just in time to face Cadiz in the 18th matchday of La Liga. It remains to be seen if the Italian coach will go for the Frenchman in the starting eleven or if he prefers to reserve him for a little longer to avoid any kind of relapse.
Dani Carvajal has not made an appearance at Real Madrid's Ciudad Deportiva. The full-back is still struggling with muscle soreness and will not be in the starting line-up for the head-to-head at the Santiago Bernabeu as a precaution.
