Mbappe returns to Real training .. and Nadal reveals his position on Perez's succession
Real Madrid have begun preparations for next Thursday's match against Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabéu, as part of the La Liga competitions.
Kylian Mbappe returned to teamwork after recovering from a muscle injury that prevented him from playing in the Clasico, to be ready to participate in the next match, while the decision to involve him or keep him on the bench remains in the hands of the technical staff.
He will be available to coach Alvaro Arbeloa for the remaining matches of the league, having missed the Royals' coffers for the second year in a row after the last loss in the Clásico to crowned rivals Barcelona.
Dani Carvajal has also returned to group training normally, after fully recovering from the injury, and will also be available for the next match.
Den Hausen, on the other hand, is still suffering from the flu that kept him out of the Clasico, and his participation against Oviedo remains in doubt.
Antonio Rudiger and Joe Bellingham have been training inside the gym, with the expectation that they will join group training soon, amid positive indications about their readiness for the match.
Eder Militão, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo, Arda Güler and Federico Valverde continue their recovery programmes from injuries.
Nadal reveals his stance on running for the presidency of Real Madrid
Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal has revealed his position on the possibility of entering Real Madrid's administrative battle, after the club's president, Florentino Pérez, announced his intention to hold early elections for the board of directors.
Nadal confirmed that the news, which put him on the list of candidates to lead the club in the next stage, is not true, saying on his official account on the "X" platform: "I have read information linking me to possible candidacies for the presidency of Real Madrid. I would like to make it clear that this information is not true."
During his stormy press conference on Tuesday, Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, announced that early elections would be held for the club's board of directors, refusing to resign from his position after a zero season for the football team.
Juventus ignites the Mercato early with a three-way plan from the heart of Real Madrid
Juventus FC has started moving early to draw the contours of its new project for the upcoming season, with the Real Madrid market as a main source of support for its ranks with quality deals that combine experience and young talent, in an ambitious transfer plan.
According to Italian newspaper Tutto Sport, the management of the "Old Lady" has put three names from Real Madrid on the negotiating table: Ibrahim Diaz, Gonzalo Garcia and David Alaba, while it has already reached out to the Spanish club to feel the pulse of the possibility of completing deals next summer.
Juventus sees Ibrahim Diaz and Gonzalo Garcia as an opportunity to strengthen the attacking line with young elements capable of making a difference, especially with the increasing possibilities of Gonzalo's departure at the end of the season, whether on loan or final sale with a buy-back clause, in light of the decline in his participation minutes and the imminent return of Brazilian Endrik from loan.
Diaz, despite his technical quality, is still out of the starting line-up at the Santiago Bernabéu, which could prompt Real Madrid to open the door to offers made to him.
Juventus' plan is not just based on direct purchases, as the Italian club is considering signing Diaz and Gonzalo on loan, while giving Real Madrid a future advantage in signing its rising Turkish talent Kenan Yildiz, who is highly admired within the club's corridors.
In a related context, Austrian David Alaba is entering Juventus' circle of interest in anticipation of his free departure from Real Madrid at the end of his contract this summer, to be a reinforcement of the defensive line with great European experience without the cost of a transfer.
