According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid held their second closed training session this week, with Brazilian center-back Militao, who is recovering from injury, participating in full team training once again, indicating he is nearing his return. Meanwhile, several Real Madrid players continue to compete for their respective national teams in international matches.

At Real Madrid City, outfield players Asencio, Álvaro Carreras, Rudiger, and Tchouameni were once again joined by Militao, who is in the final stages of his recovery and completed the full training session with the team. Goalkeepers Courtois and Lunin also participated.

Similar to Monday's schedule, Real Madrid players were instructed to arrive at Valdebebas at 10:30 AM for a new closed training session. However, on Tuesday, academy players also joined the first-team squad to finalize preparations.

According to Real Madrid's official report, the training session began with activation exercises and rondos, followed by possession drills and a practice match on a small pitch.

Players currently on international duty include Heuijén and Cucurella (Spain), Espí (Spain U21), Pitarch (Spain U20), Camavinga (France), Bellingham and Arnold (England), Dumfries (Netherlands), Diomandé (Ivory Coast), Vinicius and Endrick (Brazil), Arda Güler (Turkey), Bernardo Silva (Portugal), and Brahim Díaz (Morocco).

Injured players Rodrygo and Ferland Mendy continued their recovery, both returning to grass training with the ball. Valverde is also recovering from a grade three left ankle sprain sustained in the match against Atlético Madrid, causing him to miss Uruguay's Asian tour.

During the international break, Real Madrid's medical team added two more players to the injury list: Konate with a medial collateral ligament injury to his right knee, and Mbappé with hyperextension of the posterior capsule of his left knee.

Real Madrid will return to action on Saturday, October 10, at 9 PM, hosting Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu in the eighth round of LaLiga. Mourinho's team is currently fourth in the league, six points behind leaders Barcelona.
