Bale is still missing

He Real Madrid has started the countdown to your debut in league. It will be just in a week, next Sunday, against Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena (9:00 p.m., Movistar Partidazo). Zidane finalizes the preparations with a staff that has barely rested two days since returning to work. The feelings are very positive: the team will hit the starting gun like a shot.

Or at least most. Because Hazard and Bale continue at their own pace, working alone in the gym and without putting on their boots once to jump onto the grass. In the morning session this Sunday they returned to stay inside the facilities. So did Mariano, Asensio, Lucas Vázquez and Jovic, with slight discomfort. The positive note, however, is continued by Isco. Just a few days ago it seemed ruled out for San Sebastián due to a sprain, but today he completed his third session with his boots on (always doing half of the training on the grass and the other half in the gym). Too Reguilón, who carried out that same routine.

The group began to exercise very early with muscle strengthening sets. Then they carried out control, combination, pressure and recovery exercises and they played soccer-tennis matches. The goalkeepers they isolated themselves to do specific exercises. The training ended with a intense match in reduced dimensions. The team will exercise again tomorrow in Valdebebas at 11:00.
