RECOVERY SESSION AHEAD OF INTERNATIONAL BREAK

After being in action against Rayo Vallecano the previous night, the first-team squad took part in a recovery session on Sunday morning. Those who played fewer minutes in the match, as well as those remaining with the club through the international break, then went on to do some ball work. The rest, including the nine players called up for international duty - Nyland, Navas, Juanlu, Gudelj, Acuña, Sow, Lukebakio, Ocampos and En-Nesyri - worked only in the gym in their last day before heading off to their respective camps.

On Tuesday, the squad will return to the training ground to continue to consolidate concepts and to take advantage of this short break in the calendar to take steps forward.
