Training sessions before the game
Madrid did a training session on Three Kings Day. Ancelotti left the morning free for his players so that they could enjoy the magical day with the little ones at home and the team trained in Valdebebas starting at 3:00 p.m. , and after the session headed for Castellón, where the expedition Blanca will spend the night tonight. Carvajal, Odriozola and Mariano were the only absentees from training and from the call-up given by Carlo Ancelotti for tomorrow’s game Saturday against Villarreal.
Italian coach could not take Odri and Carva
The Italian coach takes 21 players on the Madrid expedition, in which, as usual, Luis López travels as the third goalkeeper. The absence of Carvajal will prevent Carletto from lining up his gala eleven against the Groguet team . “Tomorrow a fresh team is going to play, most of the ones that didn’t play against Cacereño ,” said the man from Reggiolo at a press conference, hinting at his intentions for the starting team. Carvajal has not returned to training since the match with which the team resumed the competition on December 30 against Valladolid . Odriozola, for his part, had to be replaced on Tuesday in the cup match against Cacereño suffering from a blow. The two worked out in the gym. And Mariano, who trained alone on the pitch, has been suffering from a slight ankle sprain for ten days that has prevented him from being available for Ancelotti in the three games after the World Cup break.
