Marca: Chuameni may return early, Real Madrid does not want to rule out his possible appearance in advance

Hupu News on November 20 According to "Marca", Chuameni will have a crucial day this Friday to determine whether he can participate in the game against Elche. The French midfielder injured the semitendinosus in his left leg and missed the last round of the league against Rayo Vallecano. He is still observing his recovery.

The medical situation in the team is clear: among all the injured (Carvajal, Rudiger, Mastantono and Militao), Chuameni is the only one who has a realistic possibility of making it to the weekend game. Everything depends on how he reacts when training at the Valdebebas base on Friday.

On Wednesday, he had completed part of the training with the team, which was a positive sign after training alone for many consecutive days. Thursday is the team's rest day, which also allows him to relax temporarily and avoid any overload before the final test.

The coaching staff's plan is simple: allow the player to test himself without being forced and observe how he reacts in real training situations. There will be no pressure or hasty decisions, but close follow-up. His important role at the beginning of the season also explains why the team is so cautious.

Chuameni started all the games in the league except for the game against Levante. Since the Club World Cup, he has been Xavi Alonso's most relied upon starting midfielder. His consistency has become the norm and his absence against Rayo Vallecano forced the team to adjust their midfield structure to compensate for the lack of a player of his type.

The technical team believes that it cannot take risks, but if the recovery situation is good, it does not want to rule out the possibility of his playing in advance. Today's training will resolve all doubts: if he can complete all training normally and feels good, he will have a chance to enter the squad; if any discomfort occurs, he will stop immediately.
