It was a general rehearsal after almost three months without playing an official match, since the 2-1 defeat against Real Betis on March 8, facing the return of the competition, in which the white team will try to cut the two points that separate him from the leader, Barcelona, to take his 34th League in history.
One of the footballers who have benefited from the break due to the coronavirus has been Marco Asensio, Already recovered from the serious injury to the anterior cruciate ligament and the external meniscus of the left knee that he suffered during a preseason friendly against Arsenal. He played the training match more than 10 months later.
The eleven was made up of Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Mendy; Kroos, Modric, James, Reinier; Asensio and Benzema. In the other team were Areola; Millitao, Ramos, Casemiro, Marcelo, Valverde, Lucas Vázquez, Isco, Rodrygo, Vinicius and Brahim.
Before the match organized by the coaching staff, the footballers did physical toning exercises. Only the Serb was absent in the session Luka Jovic, who is recovering from the “extra-articular fracture in the calcaneus bone of the right foot” that he suffered on May 8.

He still has, according to the estimate made when the type of injury he suffered was known, half a month to train again with the rest of his companions. Madrid thus closed the fourth week of work after the break, since Zidane gave his footballers rest this Sunday, and on Monday they will train again in match week after almost three months without competing.
Thus, James receives a boost from Zidane as he defines what will happen to his future, if he stays or leaves.
