Ramos, almost ready

Real Madrid continues to prepare for Saturday's game against Levante at Alfredo di Stéfano (4:15 pm CET). The only positive note from the surprising Cup elimination against Alcoyano is that during these weeks they will have more time to prepare for the league games, something that becomes a privilege in such a tight schedule. In fact, this time the opposite of what is usual happens: it is Levante who arrives with a load of matches, since on Tuesday they played a Cup match (they beat Valladolid 2-4 and are still alive in the competition).

The good news of the session for Zidane is that Sergio Ramos is making progress in recovering from his knee injury. The captain is almost ruled out to play against the Valencians, But for the second day in a row, he alternated specific work on the grass with that done in the gym. This is a sign that his recovery process is entering the final phase and in a few days he hopes to return to the group.

As for the negative news, Lucas Vázquez trained inside the facilities. The club has not issued a medical report in this regard, so it is unknown if it is due to an injury. In addition, Rodrygo and Valverde continued with their recovery processes.
