Real Madrid returned to training after sealing the place in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Whites started to prepare for Saturday’s match against Sporting de Gijón (4:15pm). The players who started last night’s game in Lisbon completed a recovery session inside the facilities, although Modric and Kovacic also had a jog out on the pitch.

The big story from the training session was the return of Casemiro to the group. Pepe went through the first part of the session with his teammates and then underwent some individual work. The Whites did an exercises involving control, passing and possession before playing a match against Castilla. Morata and Kroos continue their recovery processes.
