Aurelien Tchouameni - Undergoes medical tests Tchouameni (undisclosed) was spotted going to the medicals Wednesday after suffering a knock at the end of Tuesday's 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League, according to Ivan...

Impact Tchouameni may have picked up an issue during Wednesday's win over Benfica after he was seen heading straight to the medical staff on Wednesday. The French midfielder is set for further evaluation in the coming hours, and with the second leg against Benfica looming next Wednesday, he could be held out of Saturday's clash against Osasuna as a precaution. If he's sidelined, Dani Ceballos would be in line for a bigger role in midfield for the Merengues.

Kylian Mbappe - Could be rested Saturday Mbappe provided one assist and played the full game during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Benfica despite not being fully fit due to his knee problems, coach Alvaro Arbeloa said in a press...

Impact Mbappe will need close monitoring over the next few days as he is still not operating at full throttle due to recurring knee issues that have lingered for months. The French superstar still dished out the assist on the winner against the Benfiquistas and gutted out the full 90 minutes, even though coach Alvaro Arbeloa admitted he was playing at around 80 percent of his capacities. There is a strong chance the Pichichi contender gets a breather against Osasuna on Saturday so he can be fully loaded for the second leg against Benfica on Wednesday. Gonzalo Garcia would be in line for increased playing time on Saturday if Mbappe misses the game.
