End to this week of training for players who have not left with their respective national teams: Zidane has barely been able to count on six players from the first squad including Diego Altube, that despite exercising with the first team, he still has a record with Castilla. The good news for Zidane is that Nacho and Carvajal have already trained alone on the pitch. Both players will accelerate next week due to the duels against Villarreal (Saturday 21, 16:15 hours) and, above all, Inter Milan (Wednesday 25, 21:00 hours), and above all, due to the possible losses of Militao, Casemiro and Hazard, who in theory should be fit after overcoming their respective quarantines for COVID-19.

Zidane carried out an intense session with players like Mariano, Isco and Marcelo, in which he combined physical work, with control and precision exercises, ending with a shooting session on goal. The same ones you have worked with in this short work week (they have trained for three days: from Wednesday to Friday). The coach decided to give them two days off after the intense week before, with wins against Huesca (4-1) and Inter (3-2) and the defeat against Valencia (4-1).
While, Mendy, Lucas Vázquez, Odriozola and Benzema exercised inside the facilities. Players will not train again until Monday at 5:00 p.m.. There will still be quite a few players, who are still called up with their respective teams. The last to rejoin will be Courtois, Jovic and Odegaard, who will play matches on Wednesday 18 starting at 8:45 pm.
