Coach Alonso advised not to use 3 Real Madrid stars

Real Madrid's medical team has advised coach Xabi Alonso not to use three players in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Advice from Real Madrid's medical team poses a major challenge for Xabi Alonso.

According to Marca , Real Madrid's medical team believes that coach Alonso should not field three defenders Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal in the tournament in the United States. This move stems from concerns about the quality of the pitches in the United States, an issue that has been criticized by Vinicius Jr and many other football stars.

Militao, Alaba and Carvajal have only just returned to training after ACL injuries sustained in the 2024/25 season. They could play this summer, but Real Madrid's medical team believe the trio are at risk of re-injury if they play on poor pitches in the US.

Many players competing at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have complained about the quality of the grass on the pitches in the United States, which has worried Real Madrid's medical team. In addition, Real Madrid have suffered many injuries in the past while touring North America.

However, Real Madrid's medical team also emphasized that this is only a recommendation to coach Alonso. The final decision will be based on the player's feelings, the doctor's opinion, and the assessment of the team's head coach.

After a disappointing 1-1 draw against Al Hilal, Real Madrid need positive results in their two matches against Pachuca (Mexico) on June 22, and RB Salzburg (Austria). These are two opponents that are rated much lower than Real.

Xabi Alonso's Real was held to a draw by Saudi Arabia's representative. In the early morning of June 19, Real had a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal in Group H, FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
