Brahim Diaz fit to face Rayo Vallecano in La Liga

Brahim Diaz ended the week training normally at the same pace as the rest of his teammates at Real Madrid's training complex, confirming in Saturday's morning session that he is in perfect condition for the league clash against Rayo Vallecano, which Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Jude Bellingham will miss due to injury.
Brahim's scare against RB Leipzig on Tuesday is behind him and the Spanish midfielder is available to coach Carlo Ancelotti, who must decide whether to keep him in the starting line-up as a replacement for Bellingham or bring on Joselu Mato as a precaution.
Tests on Thursday confirmed that Brahim did not suffer a right calf injury and he has not stopped training with the group.
Still absent from the group is Rudiger, who, depending on his progress, could return in La Liga for the visit to the Mestalla stadium before the second leg of the Champions League tie against RB Leipzig.
Meanwhile, Eder Militao continues with his individual work plan with a view to his return in April, as does Belgian goalkeeper Courtois. Elsewhere, Alaba will not return to action this season due to a serious knee injury.
