- Eduardo Camavinga is on a similar timetable and has clearance to do almost all training, with a squad return expected soon if there are no setbacks.
- Real Madrid lead LaLiga with three wins from three as they travel to San Sebastián, with a Champions League opener against Marseille on Tuesday shaping rotation choices.
- The coach reported no new injuries from the international window, highlighting that the squad returned on time and in good condition.
