Madrid boosted by trio's fitness as Alonso prepares for European opener

The trio are in the final stages of their recovery, counting down the days until they can feature for the first time this season.

Bellingham, who underwent shoulder surgery over the summer, Camavinga, returning from an ankle sprain, and Endrick, recovering from a muscle tear, all trained intensely with the squad, signalling significant progress.

Alonso faces a mixed injury picture after the international break. Antonio Rudiger is set to miss over two months with a muscle tear, while Ferland Mendy remains sidelined.

Extra care was taken during the session for players who started against Real Sociedad, including Brahim Diaz, who came off at half-time.

The remainder of the squad focused on preparations for Tuesday's Champions League opener against Olympique Marseille at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the session beginning in the gym on flexibility and strength work before moving onto the pitch.

Players completed possession and pressing drills, endurance exercises and tactical routines under Alonso's guidance, finishing with crossing and shooting drills in which Bellingham, Camavinga and Endrick actively participated.

Alonso has made some tentative adjustments to his starting lineup following the weekend, resting players who returned from international duty, including Fede Valverde and Franco Mastantuono, both expected to start against Marseille.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to fill in at right-back, with final decisions to be confirmed in Monday's training.
