Borja Mayoral, Dani Ceballos, and Martin Odegaard have returned to Real Madrid training. Of Mayoral, it’s probably a temporary thing as the club probably finds him a new home before the season starts. With Ceballos, he will likely return to Arsenal (although, who knows). In Odegaard’s case, he will be with the team permanently, in what is an exciting return.

The team trained today with everyone bar the international call-ups: Sergio Ramos, Dani Carvajal, Marco Asensio, Sergio Reguilón, Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard, Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale, Luka Jović, Raphael Varane, Ferland Mendy and Andriy Lunin.

Today’s session — the first of the season — began with physical work spread across three pitches at Valdebebas. There were a lot of fitness drills today, and the sessions lasted two hours.
