Nine days before the expected confrontation, the newspaper "Marca" revealed that the Brazilian winger Rodrigo returned to training on the field with the ball, increasing his chances of competing in the European summit after he was initially excluded due to injury.

Rodrigo injured his left leg muscle in Osasuna's last match in the Spanish League before the international break, and he was expected to be absent for a period ranging between 5 and 6 weeks.
