As reported on Real Madrid official website, the squad trained for the first time this week at Real Madrid City as they begin preparations for the rearranged LaLiga Matchday 15 home game against Athletic, which will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu (Wednesday, 9pm CET). Blancos are going to try keeping the lead, with both Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad as runners-up, four points below on the table.

The starters from the Sevilla match carried out recovery work. The rest of the group began with rondos and control and passing exercises before ending the session with small-sided games. Eden Hazard was involved in part of the session with the group. Gareth Bale and Dani Ceballos worked on their own out on the pitch.
