Real Madrid has drawn up a rigorous plan for young midfielder Pitarque, hoping to help him regain match fitness and secure appearances with the first team in upcoming fixtures.

Spanish outlet Marca reports that the international break has arrived at the perfect moment, as Real Madrid has already prepared a recovery plan for Pitarque, with the aim of having him regain peak form during this period.

The plan includes the midfielder playing for Real Madrid II over the coming weeks, taking advantage of the main team's fixture pause to help him rebuild his conditioning.

In this way, he will be able to recover his fitness following injury and also gain playing time he has lacked under Mourinho's management.

Pitarque had returned to Real Madrid's squad list but did not feature in four matches against Inter Milan, Rayo Vallecano, Elche, and Atlético Madrid.

Therefore, during this break, he will rejoin the reserve squad and will be available to Julián López de Lerma for Real Madrid II's rescheduled match against Sant Andreu next Wednesday.

Mourinho made this decision because Pitarque had previously suffered a knee injury, causing him to miss preseason this summer; at the same time, he has not yet reached the required level of fitness to play for Real Madrid.

Due to the international break, Real Madrid will not return to action until October 10. Before then, Real Madrid II will play three league matches, including a derby, which will help Pitarque accumulate sufficient playing time with the reserve team before returning to Mourinho's plans.

Additionally, Pitarque's high-intensity three-week fitness program may coincide with a call-up to the Spain U-20 side. Spain U-20 will face Mexico on September 30, and the midfielder is expected to participate in that match.

The date of this match remains uncertain, as the original plan to hold it in Ceuta was cancelled.

It should be noted that Pitarque has not played an official match in two and a half months, since representing Spain in the U-19 European Championship final on July 11. He subsequently suffered another injury shortly after resuming training at Valdebebas and has not played a minute since.
