Rodrygo aiming to be called up for Milan match

Rodrygo Goes, who suffered a right hamstring injury on 22nd October, completed the final training session ahead of the Champions League game against Milan with the rest of his team-mates, and is in contention for a place in the squad.

Thibaut Courtois, who is still recovering from the left adductor injury he suffered on 22nd October, will not be included in the squad, nor will David Alaba and Dani Carvajal, who are still recovering from serious knee injuries.

With Rodrygo in doubt, as the expected return date was next Saturday in the La Liga EA Sports match against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu, Carlo Ancelotti led the final training session before hosting Milan on matchday 4 of the Champions League, which will mark the halfway point of the first phase of the new competition format.

A session which, in the 15 minutes open to the media, began with the usual warm-up exercises and rondos and which included the presence of three home-grown players: goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez, right-back Lorenzo Aguado and midfielder Chema Andres.

Of these, the first two will be in the squad for the Champions League, as Ancelotti only has one goalkeeper -Andriy Lunin- and one right-back -Lucas Vazquez- in the first team squad due to injuries to Courtois and Carvajal.
