According to Marca, Fede Valverde appeared in photos before Real Madrid's training session and could return to full team training tomorrow. He is targeting a return to play against Villarreal.

Fede Valverde participated in a pre-training activity organized by Mourinho in the evening. He posed with several teammates and beneficiaries of the Real Madrid Foundation Social Sports School. During the event, Valverde was already wearing his football boots. Real Madrid's official website only briefly stated: "Valverde underwent recovery training." However, it is likely he will return to full team training tomorrow, with the goal of playing against Villarreal on Saturday.

Since Real Madrid issued a medical report on September 20, following the derby, there has been no further update on Valverde's injury. The club stated that Valverde completed the match at Cívitas Metropolitano but suffered a Grade III ankle sprain on his left ankle. Although he did not consider the injury serious at the time, this severe sprain could have caused a lengthy absence. Throughout the international break, Valverde has recovered as planned. Eighteen days after the injury, he appeared in training wearing football boots and is working hard to be ready for Saturday's match against Villarreal.

Valverde's derby injury sparked major controversy because it occurred during a foul that led Real Madrid to demand Lee Kang-in's red card. In the first half, Lee Kang-in's aggressive tackle on Valverde was the main point of contention throughout the match and in the days that followed. The performance of referees Ortiz Arias and Trujillo Suárez in the derby also drew scrutiny from Spain's Technical Refereeing Committee.

The committee acknowledged that both the referee and VAR made errors in assessing Lee Kang-in's foul on Valverde, and stated that Lee Kang-in should have received a direct red card. The committee's ruling on the incident was "direct free kick and direct red card," concluding that "the referee made a clear and serious error" and "VAR should have intervened."

A day after the derby, Real Madrid released an unexpected medical report, further intensifying the controversy surrounding Lee Kang-in's foul on Valverde. Although Valverde insisted on playing until the end of the match, both Real Madrid and Mourinho were very upset about it, with Mourinho sharply criticizing the referee's performance. After several days of concern over Valverde's physical condition and potential absence, it now appears the Uruguayan player will not be ruled out of Mourinho's plans following the three-week international break.
