On Monday afternoon, Real Madrid took part in their last training session before Athletic Club’s visit, but did so without Eden Hazard, Mariano Díaz, Martin Odegaard or Luka Jovic.
Zinedine Zidane had hoped to welcome a pair of those injured absentees back into the fold in time to face the Basque club, but that has proven impossible.
All of the players missed the full contact portion of the session and divided their time at Valdebebas between gym work and individual exercises on the field.
Zidane now has a difficult decision, because in an ideal world he would have liked to give Karim Benzema a rest against Athletic Club, but he really has no alternative options now.
However, even though Casemiro will also be suspended by suspension, there is a good feeling within the Los Blancos camp at the moment, having achieved a series of positive victories.
The victories against Sevilla, Borussia Mönchengladbach and, more recently, Atlético de Madrid, have lifted spirits at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, which will only be boosted by the return of Federico Valverde.
