Raul Asencio - Set for surgery Asencio will undergo surgery Thursday after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right tibia, according to the club.

Impact Asencio will now require surgery after dealing with persistent discomfort in his right shin.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Provides assist in England return Alexander-Arnold recorded an assist while making his first England start in nearly two years in a 2-0 Nations League win over the Czech Republic.

Impact Alexander-Arnold made the most of his return to the starting XI, delivering a pinpoint cross for Anthony Gordon to head home the opening goal shortly after halftime. The performance gives him an opportunity to push for further international minutes at right-back, though Jarell Quansah remains among his competition for the position. At club level, Alexander-Arnold remains behind Denzel Dumfries in Real Madrid's right-back hierarchy, making four La Liga appearances, including two starts, with one assist and six chances created.

Raul Asencio - Mulling potential surgery Asencio is contemplating surgery due to his ongoing shin problems, and a decision on his status could be made in the coming days, according to Jose Luis Calderon of MARCA.

Impact Asencio has returned to training, but the pain hasn't stopped, and that, along with his off-field problems, has kept him from playing a single minute in 2026/27 so far. A decision could be made soon, and if he undergoes surgery, Asencio could be sidelined for two to three months, per Calderon.

Kylian Mbappe - Could receive rest vs. Villarreal Mbappe (knee) could be rested against Villarreal on Oct. 10 , according to Jose Felix Diaz and Carlos Forjanes of Diario AS.

Impact The star forward suffered a knee injury in France's 2-1 win over Turkiye, and while he avoided surgery, Los Merengues aren't going to rush his recovery. Although Mbappe's projected recovery timeline suggests he could be available against Villarreal, manager Jose Mourinho might rest him to give him extra time to recover. After Villarreal, Real Madrid will face Roma (Oct. 14), Sevilla (Oct. 18), RB Leipzig (Oct. 21) and FC Barcelona (Oct. 25) over an 11-day stretch. With that in mind, resting him against Villarreal wouldn't be the worst idea, with Carlos Espi and Jude Bellingham as a false nine as potential options to take his place.

Rodrygo - Resumes work with ball Rodrygo (knee) has resumed individual work with the ball as he continues his recovery from ACL and lateral meniscus surgery on his right knee, according to Madrid Xtra.

Impact Rodrygo has reached another stage of his rehabilitation more than six months after undergoing surgery in March. The forward still has several steps to complete before returning to team training, including higher-intensity running, changes of direction and contact work. A return to competitive action could come in December if his recovery continues as planned, though his availability will ultimately depend on successfully completing the required functional tests.

Ferland Mendy - Spotted training with ball Mendy (leg) was spotted training with the ball Monday, according to the club.

Impact Mendy had previously been described as being in the final stages of his recovery from the torn rectus femoris tendon that required surgery in May, and this ball work marks another step toward a return. Regaining a regular role will still be complicated by the presence of Alvaro Carreras and the arrival of Marc Cucurella, but this progress keeps him on track for a comeback.

Eder Militao - Trains fully with team Militao (hamstring) was spotted training in full with the team Monday during the international break, according to the club.

Impact Militao had previously been progressing through light running and ball work in his recovery from the torn femoral biceps tendon that required surgery in Finland in March, so joining full team sessions marks a significant step forward. His eventual return would add competition for the second center back spot alongside Ibrahima Konate and Antonio Rudiger, with Dean Huijsen a little ahead in the center-backs hierarchy, and a potential inclusion in the squad remains possible for the Oct. 10 clash against Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahima Konate - Expected back against Villarreal Konate is expected back for Real Madrid's clash against Villarreal on Oct. 10, after dealing with a collateral ligament injury in his right leg, according to COPE.

Impact Konate had picked up the injury during Wednesday's training session with the French national team, ruling him out of the international break, with reports previously reporting an absence of around two weeks. That timeline now points to a return in time for LaLiga's resumption on Oct. 10. If he has to miss more time to recover, Antonio Rudiger will likely be the main option to step in his spot.

Impact Mbappe's timeline lines up with Real Madrid's return from the international break on October 10, with the club confirming the diagnosis without providing an official recovery estimate, leaving medical staff to assess him day by day. Carlos Espi could take over at center forward if the club decides to exercise caution, having already contributed two late goals as a substitute this season.
