Real Madrid Trio Return to Training Ahead of Inter Milan Clash

Real Madrid welcomed Aurelien Tchouameni, Thiago Pitarch and Endrick back into full training on Sunday, a timely boost ahead of their Champions League opener against Inter Milan on Tuesday.

The trio have endured a disrupted build-up to the season, each missing more than a month of pre-season work. That lay-off leaves their chances of starting at the San Siro extremely slim, even with the fixture looming large and the squad stretched.

José Mourinho’s options in midfield are under real strain. Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Güler and Bernardo Silva are all unavailable through suspension, forcing the coach into a rethink at the heart of his team as he looks for a reaction after the deflating defeat to Betis.

For Tchouameni, Pitarch and Endrick, the next few days are about catching up at speed: sharpening their fitness levels, rediscovering rhythm with the ball and locking into Mourinho’s demands. They may not be ready to lead from the start against Inter, but their return adds fresh legs and new possibilities at a moment when Madrid badly need both.
