After various intervals throughout the week where different groups of players had the day off from training, the entire squad reconvened today at Real Madrid City to carry out Zinedine Zidane’s training session.

Today, things were quite complete as far as training goes. The players started with injury-prevention physical exercises before moving into ball work, possession and pressing drills. The team then played scrimmages across reduced-sized pitches. The training concluded with a shooting drill.

Player updates

Luka Jovic trained with the group with some of the session, but alone for the rest. Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard trained outdoors, but on their own. Indoors, Gareth Bale was still around, and worked out alongside Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez, and Mariano Diaz.
