Dani Ceballos has finally made his comeback after an injury sustained during the Copa del Rey match against Real Sociedad. Following a 46-day hiatus, he appeared for a few minutes in the game against Alaves at Mendizorroza. Although his time on the pitch was brief, it served as a clear indication of his readiness ahead of the rematch with Arsenal. “Step by step, I’m feeling better. I’m happy to be back and ready to help,” he said after the match.
His readiness was confirmed by Davide Ancelotti. “Ceballos has been training with the group for four days now and is fully available for Wednesday. He will greatly assist us, whether he starts the match or comes off the bench,” declared the assistant coach of Los Blancos. While starting him might not be likely, Ceballos could play a crucial role as a substitute.
Ceballos’s return is of significant importance to Carlo Ancelotti. Before his injury, the Spaniard had become vital in the midfield, orchestrating play in pivotal matches. His absence was keenly felt – Real Madrid lost to Arsenal and Valencia during this period and even struggled in matches they managed to win. The team now relies on his form for the crucial showdown.
The player himself is rallying supporters ahead of the rematch at the Bernabeu. “On Wednesday, we need your incredible atmosphere to overturn a challenging result. We’re counting on you!”
– Ceballos appealed. The midfielder’s return to form following his injury could be crucial for Real Madrid’s hopes of advancing.
