Real Madrid Expects Two Key Players Ready For FIFA Club World Cup
Real Madrid will start to focus on the FIFA Club World Cup, which starts on June 15 and ends on July 13. Los Blancos want to win this competition, and reports in Spain suggest that they will have two key players back in time for the tournament. Those two players are Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal. Relevo reports that Militao and Carvajal are expected to play in the FIFA Club World Cup, as they are currently close to returning to full fitness. Advertisement Militao and Carvajal suffered ACL injuries earlier this season, keeping them out for the rest of it. Carvajal was a crucial loss for Real Madrid after playing a key role in the team's success for the 2023-24 season. He went on to win the 2024 EURO with Spain last summer. He suffered an external collateral ligament injury and tore the popliteal tendon in his right leg on October 5, 2024, when Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. This resulted in him playing a total of 11 matches for Real Madrid this season. Militao would suffer a similar injury a month later. On November 9, 2024, he had to be taken off in the 30th minute of Real Madrid's 4-0 win over Osasuna at home. The Brazilian centerback played 17 games across all competitions with Los Blancos this season. Other Key Returns for Real Madrid With under four weeks left till the Club World Cup, Real Madrid could also expect the return of another pair of defenders. Relevo reports that David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger will return for the summer tournament. Advertisement Rudiger suffered a meniscus injury and had surgery on his knee a couple of weeks ago. His last game played was in the 3-2 loss against FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. Alaba suffered a rupture of the internal meniscus, which ruled him out of the rest of the La Liga season in late April as well. He last played for Real Madrid on April 23, in a 1-0 win against Getafe. Real Madrid won't count on Ferland Mendy for the FIFA Club World Cup. Dani Carvajal Hints at Retirement Dani Carvajal is a Real Madrid legend, but his time at the club could soon be over. His time in soccer could be over as a whole because a new statement from the Spanish right-back reveals his thoughts on his future. Advertisement Dani Carvajal: "It's been a long journey. My sports career is already nearing its end. I hope not, but I have to be realistic.' Dani Carvajal at Real Madrid Six Champions Leagues Five FIFA Club World Cups Four La Liga Titles Five UEFA Super Cups One FIFA Intercontinental Cup Two Copa Del Rey Four Spanish Super Cups Currently 33 years old, Carvajal will look to win the newly formatted FIFA Club World Cup this summer with Real Madrid to add another silverware to his successful career at the club. The Spanish player has won almost everything with Real Madrid, and a win in this tournament could potentially be a factor in Carvajal's decision to retire sooner rather than later.

Ex-Watford boss Munoz poised for JDT job
KUALA LUMPUR: Spaniard Xisco Munoz is on the verge of becoming the new head coach of Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT). According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, the former Watford boss is finalising terms with the Super League giants, who are eyeing a new era of domestic dominance and greater success in the Asian Champions League (ACL). Munoz, 44, famously guided Watford to Premier League promotion in the 2020–21 season. He has also managed in Georgia, Cyprus, Slovakia and Spain. "Munoz, one step away from coaching the famous JDT, the Spanish team in Malaysia," wrote Relevo. "The Balearic coach is finalising his next step in coaching, close to moving to Asia." Munoz took a sabbatical during the 2024–25 season but now appears ready for a fresh challenge in Southeast Asia. "An agreement is close to being reached, and it's safe to say he's one step away from becoming the Asian side's new coach. "JDT wants Munoz to lead their new project and are confident of securing his services very soon," added Relevo. JDT made waves last season by assembling a squad packed with Spanish players including Jese Rodriguez, Samu Castillejo, Roque Mesa and Alvaro Gonzalez, though it is understood they were released at the end of the campaign. "For those who don't know the Malaysian team, it's the same side that brought together several well-known names in Spanish football," Relevo noted. "They haven't lost a single league title since 2013 and are competing in the Asian Champions League against Arab giants captained by Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema." Munoz himself appears excited by the opportunity to broaden his horizons. "I also like being adventurous and finding new challenges and new ways of watching football in other countries," he told Relevo. While JDT have yet to officially confirm Munoz's appointment or clarify the status of current head coach Hector Bidoglio, all signs point to a new chapter for the Southern Tigers as they continue their evolution into a truly international football powerhouse.

Getafe tie up free agent summer signing
Getafe tie up free agent summer signing The brass at La Liga outfit Getafe have already sewn up an agreement for the club's first signing of the upcoming summer transfer window. That's according to Mundo Deportivo, citing Relevo, who point towards Álex Sancris as the player in question. Sancris, for those not familiar with his name, is a 28-year-old winger, who is currently plying his trade in Spain's 2nd tier, with Burgos. The attacker has enjoyed a fine individual campaign to date, shining on his way to eight goals and nine assists in 35 appearances across all competitions. Such exploits have not gone at all unnoticed in Spain's top-flight, with a number of La Liga clubs understood to have expressed an interest in Sancris' services over recent months. And if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then one such outfit now appear to have beaten out the competition to his signature. As per MD, ahead of the expiration of Sancris' Burgos contract in the summer: 'If nothing changes: the forward will wear Getafe's jersey next season. In fact, according to information from 'Relevo', he has already signed his contract which only needs to be made public.' Conor Laird – GSFN
