Xabi Alonso gets the best possible news: 'I'm available for Juventus and el Clásico'

Real Madrid faces its most demanding week with unexpected news that changes Xabi Alonso's plans

Real Madrid faces a crucial week for the development of the season. This Wednesday, Bernabéu will host the thrilling Champions League clash against Juventus. On Sunday, in the same stadium, the most desired match of the year will be played: El Clásico against Barça.

Xabi Alonso knows that two victories would be a huge morale boost for the fans and a reinforcement of confidence for the locker room. The Basque coach has prepared every match in detail, fully aware of what is at stake. In this sense, the demands of both matches force him to make tactical decisions of enormous importance.

The coach seeks maximum commitment from all his players and is planning smart rotations against Juventus. His main goal is to field the best possible starting eleven in El Clásico without compromising European competitiveness. The balance between rest and performance will define Real Madrid's management in the coming days.

Among the most urgent challenges is solving the weakness at right back. In recent matches, Xabi Alonso has placed Fede Valverde as an emergency solution. However, to defeat Juventus and Barça, something more will be needed.

In recent hours, an important question has been solved for the white coaching staff. To everyone's surprise, Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered earlier than expected and is now directly targeting El Clásico. The English right back has already completed several training sessions with the group and could get minutes against Juventus.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is a huge relief for Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid gains depth in defense and a clean build-up from the back, as well as excellent set-piece delivery. His return allows the coach to adjust the system and offer more freedom to the central midfielders in the attacking phase.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's return changes everything

The expectation is that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be able to play some minutes against Juventus as part of his gradual reintegration. If the feeling is positive, everything points to him starting in El Clásico on Sunday. His presence will provide defensive stability and a technical boost in the build-up play.

With this recovery, Xabi Alonso can execute his plan with more guarantees. Real Madrid gets back a game-changing footballer just when they need him most. In a week of maximum pressure, Trent Alexander-Arnold's return is the best possible news for the coach and Madridist fans.
