Real Madrid will begin training for their next league match against Celta. Carlo Ancelloti's side will welcome Vinicius and David Alaba back into training after the two players were released by their respective national sides.

On Saturday, after a short but well deserved break after Thursday's 4-0 thrashing of Chile, the Brazilian national side completed their first of three training sessions ahead of their visit to La Paz where they will play Bolivia in the South American World Cup qualifiers. Only the reserves spent time on the pitch as the starting eleven carried out a gym session.  

The session was watched by the media as they attempted to work out who would be replacing Neymar and Vinicius as both players will not be playing for Brazil in La Paz. However, Adenor Leonardo Bacchi 'Tite', only coached the reserves during the session and therefore everyone will have to wait until his press conference on Monday to find out who has picked for the match against Bolivia.

One thing for certain is that the PSG and Real Madrid forwards will not play as they have been released from international duty and will return to their clubs. Neymar and Vinicius will soon be on flights back to France and Spain. 

As well as the Brazilian, Alaba has also finished his international duty. The Austrian was knocked out the European World Cup qualifiers by Wales and so was released of his duty. Therefore, the two Madrid stars will be back in training with the rest of the team at the start of the week.
