Newswire From a news agency Ongoing story
  • Aurélien Tchouaméni, Endrick and Thiago Pitarch trained normally with Real Madrid ahead of the team’s Champions League opener against Inter Milan.
  • Coach José Mourinho will decide whether to include them, with Bernardo Silva, Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Güler suspended.
  • Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin missed training because of flu, while Raúl Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Éder Militão and Rodrygo Goes remain injured.

Aurélien Tchouaméni, Endrick and Thiago Pitarch completed Real Madrid’s final training session before the team opens its Champions League campaign against Inter Milan at the Santiago Bernabéu.

All three returned to group training on Sunday and took part normally again on Monday. Their inclusion in the squad will be decided by coach José Mourinho. The decision carries added weight because Bernardo Silva, Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Güler are suspended, leaving Real Madrid short of midfield options.

Tchouaméni has not played this season after the club chose not to risk him following a World Cup in which he pushed himself to play. Pitarch is returning after recovering from a left-knee sprain suffered at the start of preseason in August.

If the three are selected, Mourinho will still be without Raúl Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Éder Militão and Rodrygo Goes through injury. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin also missed the session because of flu.
