Real Madrid face Celta Vigo this weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti took training on Monday and has five sessions to prepare for what’s usually a difficult trip to Galicia.
Madrid are keen to bounce back to winning ways after their 4-0 beating at the hands of Barcelona and maintain their nine-point lead over second-placed Sevilla at the top of La Liga.
Los Blancos have been boosted by the return of Karim Benzema, who did some running on the pitch during training on Monday according to Marca and could be back in time for Saturday.
Benzema picked up an injury during Madrid’s 3-0 win at Mallorca and missed El Clasico as a result. His absence was noted.
Vinicius Junior also participated in the session having returned early from South America after representing Brazil during the international break.
He scored his first goal for Brazil against Chile in Rio de Janeiro but picked up a booking that means he’ll miss their next game.
So he’s already back to work at Valdebebas.
