Ferland Mendy set to return against Getafe

Left-back Ferland Mendy returned to work with the rest of the available team-mates, confirming that he has overcome the injury he suffered on 19th March against Barcelona in his left soleus.

Elsewhere, Spaniard Dani Ceballos, who was a last-minute absentee for last Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Osasuna after suffering a minor right femoral biceps injury, trained on his own with the aim of making the Champions League second leg against Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday (21:00 CEST).

A recovery session for the players who had more playing time in the 'Merengues' last two matches, against Osasuna and Manchester City.

France's Karim Benzema, Brazil's Rodrygo Goes, Germany's Toni Kroos and Austria's David Alaba all underwent specific work and, according to 'EFE', are not ruled out for the game against Getafe on Saturday.

However, with La Liga title that Barcelona can clinch on Sunday, Real Madrid's main objective is the Champions League, which is why Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti is aiming to rotate his squad in order to be in the best possible shape for the semi-finals against City.
