Juan Carlos exercises with the group in the first session of the week

Vadillo, the only absentee at the morning session

The first training session after yesterday's victory against Villarreal CF has brought positive news for Pepe Mel, who was able to work with Juan Carlos. The winger from Madrid, having overcome the discomfort he was suffering from, is training with the rest of his team mates on the pitch at the Luis del Sol Training Centre. 

Meanwhile, Vadillo, a starter in yesterday's match against the team from Castellón was not able to train this morning due to an overload in the hamstring area.

Yesterday's starting eleven had a gentler return to training today. After a series of physical exercises and some rounds under heavy rain the starters against Villarreal CF retired to within the Training Centre facilities to continue relaxing exercise sets and a massage.
