Real Madrid once again refines its squad before the duel against Racing de Santander. On Friday, Turkish midfielder Arda Güler rejoined the training group after having exercised in isolation in the previous sessions. His return occurred in the third session of the week, where the team led by José Mourinho prepares for the eleventh day of LaLiga. Güler participated in specific work alongside Fede Valverde, while the Uruguayan remained outside the group due to physical discomfort.
Valverde, who suffered an injury during the last classic against Barcelona and had to leave the field in the second half, still has not returned to the squad. The player has also remained isolated from the rest of the squad, with Raúl Asencio training individually on the pitch at Real Madrid City. Brazilian Rodrygo continues his recovery process, although his exact condition is not mentioned.
The training session began with warm-up and activation exercises, followed by ball circulation and goal finishing tasks. A tactical phase was included before concluding with matches in small spaces. The objective of the training is to maintain the good dynamics of the team after the victory in the classic and refine the preparation for the next match in El Sardinero.
Real Madrid will finish their preparation on Saturday, with the aim of being fit for Sunday's match against Racing. Coach Mourinho and his coaching staff seek to consolidate the cohesion of the group and ensure that key players, like Güler, are ready for the challenge that awaits them in the next round of LaLiga.
