Real Madrid injury round-up: Update on Los Blancos stars ahead of Champions League final 

Real Madrid are waiting to confirm the availability of David Alaba ahead of their monumental UEFA Champions League final against Liverpool on May 28. Meanwhile, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard have made the squad.

Los Blancos face the Reds in a repeat of the 2018 final, where the La Liga champions won 3-1, completing their three peat in the competition.

However, there has been concern over Alaba's fitness heading into the final at the Stade de France. He has been sidelined with an adductor injury since April, missing Real Madrid's final five La Liga games.

He did play through the pain barrier in the first leg of the semi-final against Manchester but had to be subbed off at half-time.

However, he has been seen in training this week and a decision is set to be made after Real Madrid's final training session.
