Real Madrid trained on Monday morning at Valdebebas in preparation for Wednesday's match against Manchester City. There was one more than significant, albeit expected, absence, that of Kylian Mbappe, who joined the club this morning after undergoing conservative treatment last week in Paris. The fact that he did not train with the rest of the group leaves him almost out of the duel against Pep Guardiola's side. The number 10 took to the pitch to run alongside French coach Sebastien Devillaz. The objective now is to achieve his return without haste with his conservative treatment. One option is that if there is a good evolution, he could have some minutes against Elche and arrive with options for the return against City, although this is not certain. The other confirmed absentee today is Carreras. He suffered a severe blow to his calf in the match against Getafe and the club issued a medical report this morning after the session revealing "a muscle injury to the calf of his right leg". He was suspended for the match against Celta, but it was not clear that he would return to the starting line-up because, beyond his discomfort, Ferland Mendy also left a very good impression at Balaidos and could have another chance to start In the case of Rüdiger, he joined the group today after his absence yesterday and will be available for the match against City Camavinga is already one of the team Arbeloa's famous phrase "I'm happy for those who wanted to come" was interpreted as a message of confidence towards Carvajal and Asencio for joining the group despite their different discomforts, and against players like the Frenchman who due to a severe toothache was left out of the match against Celta. The Frenchman, however, already worked with the group yesterday and has done so again this morning. However, Thiago Pitarch is gaining ground with the coach and there is still doubt in the starting eleven between the youth player and the Frenchman. Rodrygo prepares the operation Rodrygo has done preparatory work for his surgery tomorrow. The Brazilian has said goodbye due to his serious knee injury and will undergo surgery tomorrow. Alaba, Bellingham, Ceballos and Militao are continuing with their respective recovery processes.
