Militao returns to the grass

Good news for Zidane: for the first time since September 15, Militao has reappeared on the grass. The Brazilian suffered a severe contusion in the adductor in the friendly against Getafe that has forced him to live in the gym for more than two weeks and away from the games against Real Sociedad, Betis and Valladolid. Today, finally, he sees light at the end of the tunnel and he was able to combine half of the training on the pitch and the other half inside the facilities.

Still, Madrid does not want to rush and his presence on Sunday against Levante is practically ruled out. After that game there will be a stoppage of national teams, so the whites will not play again until the weekend of September 18, in the visit to the Cadiz. That is the date marked in red on the calendar. They also continue to recover Kroos (muscle injury to the left gluteus medius), Hazard (right leg muscle injury) and Mariano (operated for tonsillitis on September 16, still at home).

Beyond those three absences, the group exercised with absolute normality a few hours after beating Valladolid (1-0). The holders carried out work of Recovery; the rest, one tactical phase and, later, they practiced pressures, possessions and passes. They also disputed a match in tight spaces. The training ended with shots on goal. The team will return to exercising tomorrow at the same time (11:00 AM PST).
