In the face of injury setbacks, Carlo Ancelotti's men are overcoming the crisis through collective effort and the unexpected emergence of players initially on the fringes.

Crucially, Vinicius Junior and Eduardo Camavinga, pivotal figures for Real Madrid, are on the verge of making a timely return to the pitch, as per MARCA.

Currently enjoying their Christmas break together in the United States, the Brazilian and the Frenchman, who share a love for NFL, are diligently advancing in their recoveries. They utilized the facilities of MLS team Los Angeles Galaxy to stay in top shape, combining gym sessions and on-field drills, showcasing their commitment to both rest and physical well-being during their leisure time.

Vinicius, absent since his dazzling double against Valencia in the 5-1 victory, has defied the odds. Despite a hamstring injury suffered during the international break on November 16, his exceptional genetics and dedicated work have expedited his return, now targeting the Supercopa de España in Riyadh. The Brazilian winger has already resumed intense training at Valdebebas, and the efforts during the holiday break are deemed crucial for his comeback.

On the other hand, Camavinga's recovery news is even more optimistic. Ancelotti, noting him as one of the closest to complete recovery, confirmed the young talent is back on the field. The anticipation is that he will make a comeback just after Christmas, ready for the first match of 2024 on January 3 at the Santiago Bernabeu against Mallorca.

Real Madrid fans can eagerly anticipate the return of these key players, as they prepare to reinforce the squad for the challenges ahead. The duo's dedication during their holiday break reflects not only their personal commitment but also the collective spirit driving the team's resilience through testing times. Ancelotti's strategic management is proving pivotal as the club gear up for an impactful start to the new year.
