Vitolo during training at the Ciudad Deportiva

First team

VITOLO AND ESCUDERO REJOIN THE GROUP

11/05/2017

Mariano worked separately from the group and Iborra did not train on the pitch

There was good news at this Thursday's training session at the Ciudad Deportiva. Of the four players who trained separately yesterday, Vitolo and Escudero rejoined the group today. With two sessions left, it looks increasingly likely that they will be in contention for the Bernabéu, although it's still too soon to be sure.

Mariano and Iborra, however, are progressing more slowly in their recovery. That said, the Brazilian worked on the pitch with Pepe Conde. As far as the captain is concerned, more patience will be required with his recovery still at an earlier stage.
