Real Madrid return to training without two key players

Real Madrid began preparations for their LaLiga Santander clash with Alaves during a training session at Valdebebas.

Gareth Bale was able to join the group having not travelled to Moscow but Raphael Varane had a personalised session inside the sports development.

Unavailable through injury were Isco, Marcelo and Carvajal who will also miss the game against Alaves.

Sergio Ramos missed the game against CSKA as a precaution but will be fit to face Alaves. Isco continues to recover from an apendicitis and is aiming to return on October 20th, against Levante.
