Madrid's Precision Play: Arbeloa’s Dual Plan for Benfica
Real Madrid’s coach Alvaro Arbeloa outlines a careful return for key players ahead of the Benfica tie in Lisbon. The plan includes gradually reintegrating Trent Alexander-Arnold, coming back from injury, into the squad. Arnold’s late substitution against Valencia is part of the ramp-up. Madrid also schedules a domestic fixture against Real Sociedad to sharpen readiness for the European test.
