LUKEBAKIO, EN-NESYRI AND JUANLU RETURN FROM INTERNATIONAL DUTY

The players were put through their paces in a Wednesday evening training session ahead of facing Real Madrid at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Saturday at 18:30 CEST as LaLiga resumes. Members of the squad who have been away on international duty have been gradually returning throughout the week and this session marked the comeback of Dodi Lukebakio, En-Nesyri and Juanlu, after all three concluded commitments with their respective national teams on Tuesday. Also back in training at the Estadio Jesús Navas was Mariano, who has recovered from a muscle injury. 

The new head coach will have all his players together for the first time when the squad trains again on Thursday, with Gudelj, Ocampos and Acuña all due to return.
