Vinicius Junior and Arda Guler, two Real Madrid forwards who had been injured, returned to the group during practice. Although they skipped the second half of the workout, they will still need more time before they can truly play for Real Madrid.

Although Vinicius and Guler should be anticipated to soon return to the team’s roster, their participation in Sunday’s Derbi seems quite improbable.

Real Madrid knows that Vinicius and Guler will be essential players this season and does not want to take any chances with them. The team’s medical staff will take a cautious approach and hold them out until they’re 100% ready to make a comeback because both injuries are complicated and might be deadly if not healed properly.

Vinicius might get some playing time against Las Palmas the following week, but Guler will probably have to wait a little longer to make his Real Madrid debut.
