After first contact with the ball in more than a month on Tuesday, Karim Benzema returned to group training today. Ramos, Kaka and Diarra, meanwhile, worked out on their own and Drenthe satyed in the gym.
The French striker trained with his teammates without incident and showed clear signs that his return to action is near. Kaka, Diarra and Ramos jogged jogged apart from the squad, and Drenthe returned to the gym despite contact with the ball on Tuesday.
Castilla’s Marcos Alonso worked out with the first team, who after a warmup jog fell under the orders of Jose Cabello. The fitness coach had designed an obstacle course comprised of hurdles, cones and slalom poles for the players to complete. Pellegrini subsequently oversaw drills on both the defensive and offensive end prior to having his men play a practice match.
