'Little Messi' of Real Madrid races against time to return to play

Real Madrid has just received encouraging news amid a worrying period concerning injuries to key players.

According to journalist Alvaro Esteban (cited by Blancos Global), the young talent Franco Mastantuono is very likely to recover in time to participate in the match against Getafe after the international break.

Before the international break, coach Xabi Alonso faced a series of bad news regarding the squad. Many Real Madrid players have been affected by the congested schedule and show signs of fatigue. Notably, Kylian Mbappe suffered an ankle injury while playing for the French national team, causing concern among "Los Blancos" fans. However, according to the latest reports, the French star still has a chance to play against Getafe.

On the other hand, young center-back Dean Huijsen is almost certain to miss out due to injury, while Mastantuono had to withdraw early from Argentina's squad for unknown reasons. This raised worries that the 17-year-old prodigy might face a long-term absence.

However, good news has arrived for Real Madrid supporters. Sources from Spain confirm that Mastantuono will undergo a thorough medical examination in the coming days to assess his condition, but initial signs indicate his injury is not serious. It is highly likely that the young player will be fit to play when Real visits Getafe.

This is seen as an important morale boost for Xabi Alonso, especially as Real Madrid prepares to face one of the toughest opponents in La Liga. Getafe is known for its disciplined defensive style and ability to close down space in their own half, forcing Real to seek creativity and breakthroughs in their attacking plays.

Since the start of the season, Mastantuono has impressed strongly with a maturity rarely seen at 17. His ball control, dribbling, and intelligent movement make him a key piece in Alonso’s attacking system. If fit to play, the Argentine midfielder is expected to continue making a difference with bold maneuvers and sharp tactical vision on the right flank.

At a time when Real Madrid needs to maintain their winning streak to stay atop La Liga, Mastantuono’s timely return is undoubtedly great news for "Los Blancos" fans.
