The team trained at Real Madrid City for the second session of the week in preparation for the LaLiga matchday five fixture against Real Sociedad, to be played at the Reale Arena (Saturday, 9pm, CEST). Ancelotti continues to welcome back internationals and this session saw the return of Mbappé, Carvajal, Arda Güler, Brahim and Valverde.

The session got underway with a warm-up, followed by ball work. Ancelotti's men did control and passing drills, practised ball circulation and possession, and played a small-sided game. Alaba, Bellingham, Camavinga, Ceballos, Militão and Tchouameni continue their recovery programmes.
