Before Real Madrid complete their final training session in Valdebebas and the results of tests on Militao and Benzema are revealed, Ancelotti confirmed the return of David Alaba and the positive news on Militao and Benzema. Those two had to leave the Valencia match prematurely.
"Alaba is good. He's trained very well and he can play without problem," the Italian coach confirmed the Austrian's presence in the Real Madrid defence in Mallorca after getting over a soleus muscle injury.
"Militao and Karim are having tests now. It doesn't seem serious. They are out of the Mallorca game, but they will travel for the World Cup and I don't know if it will be for the first game, but they'll be available for the second. They seem to have minor injuries," he explained.
Militao suffered a muscle injury in the adductor muscle in his right leg in the first half of the clash against Valencia. As for Benzema, he went off as a precaution on the hour mark after feeling a problem on his right leg.
