Jose Mourinho supervised the team's final session before facing Olympique Lyonnais tomorrow at the Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain rejoined the squad. Pedro Leon worked out on his own. Youth teamer Juan Carlos trained with the first team. The injured Kaka and Gago missed the session.
Ronaldo has recently been suffering from an injury on his left biceps femoris, but he gave signs of complete recovery today and proved he doesn't want to miss tomorrow's match for anything in the world. On the other hand, Higuain took a step further in his recovery by working out with his team-mates, and Pedro Leon jogged and did specific exercises on his own.
The squad did warm-up exercises and then divided into three groups to play a practice game. Ozil, Pepe, Marcelo, Garay, Higuain, Albiol and Carvalho wore yellow bibs; Adebayor, Khedira, Arbeloa, Ramos, Xabi Alonso and Juan Carlos wore orange; and Marcelo, Di Maria, Benzema, Lass, Granero, Cristiano Ronaldo and Canales wore white. Meanwhile, Casillas, Adan and Dudek trained with goalkeeper coach Silvino Louro.
