Real Madrid trained at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to prepare for tomorrow's 20:00 CET league clash with Zaragoza. Jose Mourinho had 21 men on hand, including Castilla goalkeeper Jesus Fernandez. The injured Khedira and Di Maria did recovery work. Sergio Ramos also missed the session with the club's permission, as he is suspended for the encounter, but he trained on his own this morning at Valdebebas.
The players divided into three groups. Cristiano Ronaldo, Coentrao, Pepe, Granero, Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa, Ozil and Benzema did stretching exercises with fitness trainer Rui Faria; Albiol, Callejon, Sahin, Altintop, Marcelo, Lass, Varane, Carvalho, Kaka and Higuain tackled aerobic exercises and speed drills before doing ball work; Casillas, Adan and Jesus trained with goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro.
