Barely twelve hours after reaping a new and important victory at Pizjuán on the way to winning the League title, The Real Madrid players took to the pitch at Valdebebas to start preparing for the game this Wednesday 20 (21:30, Movistar+ LaLiga) against Osasuna.
A recovery session that was literally both for those who played last night and for some of those who could not travel with the Madrid expedition for various reasons. The match against Sevilla left no damage in the form of injuries and Carlo Ancelotti was able to count on some of the players who were unable to travel to Seville on Monday. Dani Ceballos rejoined the group after testing negative after testing positive for COVID last Thursday. Also Jovic, who did not travel to Seville still suffering from a blow to the ankle he suffered during the national team break, worked normally and completed training with the group. Nevertheless, Jesús Vallejo, who tested positive on Tuesday, on the eve of the second leg against Chelsea, is still isolated.
