Sami Khedira is the most notable addition to Carlo Ancelotti's matchday squad for the game against Valencia. The midfielder tore his anterior and collateral cruciate ligaments in the right knee in a friendly between Germany and Italy on 15 November 2013. The next day he underwent surgery at the Hesssingpark Clinic in Augsburg and later he was transferred for rehabilitation to the Eden-Reha Clinic in Donaustauf, near Munich, and Ciudad Real Madrid.
He then continued his return to fitness in southern Sicily and days later returned to Madrid, where he rejoined his team-mates. The last match that Khedira played for Real Madrid was on 9 November 2013, when he scored the Whites' fourth goal in their victory over Real Sociedad at the Bernabéu (5-1). 176 days after that appearance and following many hours of hard work and effort to recover, the German returns to the Whites' matchday squad.
