Real Madrid returned to training after the defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti was without Mbappe, Bellingham, Valverde and Camavinga, although it is only the French midfielder who is likely to miss out due to flu.

Mbappe, Bellingham, Valverde and Camavinga did not train with the rest of their teammates in Real Madrid's return to training after being beaten by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Frenchman Camavinga is the most difficult to include in the squad. He was unable to train on Tuesday due to flu and the coaching staff of Los Blancos do not know if they will be able to recover their player for Wednesday's session, the last one before the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.

Everything suggests that Ancelotti will also give some rest to some of the players who are more physically weak. England's Bellingham and Uruguay's Fede Valverde both played in Sunday's Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia after suffering muscle strains in the semi-final.

France's Mbappe suffered a stamp on Kounde's ankle, which caused swelling. The three players underwent specific recovery treatment on Tuesday without stepping on the pitch at the Valdebebas training ground.

Ancelotti began preparations for the clash against Celta with the need to put the defeat in ‘El Clasico’ behind him, but will have to cope with the long-term absentees of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, who continue with their recovery plans from serious knee injuries, and the physical discomfort of Jesus Vallejo, who is still out for the Copa.
