Real Madrid superstar will not return to action before November

Real Madrid has announced its starting lineup for the upcoming match against WSG Tirol, featuring Carreras and Brahim in a 4-3-3 formation.

Reports indicate Xabi Alonso played a crucial role in securing a contract renewal for a key young talent at the club. However, there appears to be a disagreement between Alonso, who desires more new signings, and the Real Madrid hierarchy, who are reportedly not in agreement.

The club has officially opposed a La Liga decision to move the Villarreal vs. Barcelona fixture to the United States.

Regarding player transfers, the club is pessimistic about the chances of an injury-prone defensive duo leaving during the summer transfer window, and there is speculation that three players might depart following the FIFA Club World Cup.

Analysis of recent matches includes player ratings from the FIFA Club World Cup (highlighting Gonzalo and Asencio), key takeaways from heavy defeats to PSG (0-4) and a win against Borussia Dortmund (3-2), and preview talking points for the PSG clash in the same tournament. Alonso's proposed best lineup for the Club World Cup is also noted.

Tactically, Xabi Alonso faces the challenge of fixing a significant problem within Real Madrid's setup, while an opinion piece argues that manager Ancelotti should drop his "obsession" with Tchouameni and utilize Raul Asencio instead. Fans are also identified as having three specific things to look forward to under Alonso's management.
