Real Madrid kicked off the week with a morning training session at their Valdebebas facility, where the focus was on Kylian Mbappé and Carreras, both of whom trained separately from the main group. This isolation was part of what the club termed a “moderate training session,” raising concerns particularly about Mbappé as he deals with a knee injury, placing him in doubt for the upcoming match against Benfica.
The training session commenced with standard stretching and warm-up exercises before transitioning into tactical drills aimed at enhancing team coordination. Real Madrid’s official communications highlighted that the drills included ball exercises carried out at a high intensity, contributing to their players’ physical conditioning.
Additionally, Éder Militão and Ferland Mendy were also spotted training away from the group, with their recoveries anticipated to take some time. Meanwhile, Antonio Rüdiger managed to participate in part of the session with his teammates while also engaging in individual exercises.
As Real Madrid prepares for their trip to Lisbon, they are scheduled to conduct a training session at the match venue the afternoon prior to the game. The team’s dedication to maintaining high training standards demonstrates their commitment to overcoming injury challenges and ensuring peak performance in their upcoming fixtures.
