Real Madrid’s latest training session ahead of their upcoming fixture took place at Valdebebas, but two key defenders were notably absent, raising concerns among fans and coaching staff. With an important series of matches coming up, their absence has sparked discussions about possible injuries or precautionary rest orders from the medical team.
According to reports from Madrid-based sources, both defenders missed the full group training session and instead worked separately indoors. The decision was likely made to manage their fitness levels and avoid aggravating any minor knocks they may have sustained in recent matches.
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, who has been focused on maintaining the squad’s physical balance and tactical sharpness, reportedly isn’t taking any risks with his players. The coaching staff has implemented a strict monitoring system this season to ensure players recover fully before returning to full training, especially with the intensity of La Liga and Champions League commitments.
The rest of the team, including midfielders and forwards, took part in a high-tempo session that focused on tactical drills, quick passing sequences, and finishing exercises. The atmosphere remained positive, but the absence of two defenders serves as a reminder of how demanding this stage of the season can be.
Real Madrid’s medical team is expected to provide an official update on the defenders’ status before the weekend. Fans will be hoping that both players recover in time to be available for selection, as their presence will be crucial in maintaining the team’s defensive stability in the coming matches.
