The return to the squad of Dani Carvajal, having overcome the minor muscle injury that has kept him out of Real Madrid's last two games, was the talk of the morning at the Valdebebas training complex, where Brazilian Vinicius Junior and Turkey's Arda Guler showed that they are fit to play against UD Las Palmas.
With the only absentees now long-term injuries to Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Brazilian centre-back Eder Militao, Carlo Ancelotti had some good news in training on Tuesday. Carvajal has recovered from the muscle problem that kept him out of the Champions League game against Union Berlin and the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid.
Vinicius was seen training for the second day, having overcome the gastroenteritis that prevented him from returning to action at the Civitas Metropolitano, as well as Guler, who is approaching his first call-up after overcoming the meniscus injury he suffered in pre-season.
Ancelotti, after Monday's recovery day for first-team players, brought together all his available players to prepare for the clash against UD Las Palmas in a single training session after suffering the first defeat of the season in the derby.
