Brahim Diaz News: Back available against Villarreal

Brahim is back in Madrid and will train with the squad on Thursday to be back available for Saturday's clash against Villarreal, coach Alvaro Arbeloa said in a press conference.

Brahim is back from international duty with Morocco at the AFCON that saw his country losing in the final against Senegal and the forward missing a decisive panenka during the clash. Brahim will resume training with the Merengues on Thursday and be an option for Saturday's clash against Villarreal. That said, the Moroccan has mainly been a bench option for Real Madrid this season and will likely hold the similar role under new coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
