Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez are continuing their respective recoveries from injury, although it highly unlikely that either will feature against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Welshman worked with the ball on one of the pitches at Valdebebas while James did a continuous running exercise, but neither formed part of the group that trained under Zinedine Zidane's orders on Monday morning.

 

 

The two players worked alone, so logic dictates that they will join the injured Nacho Fernandez and Marco Asensio by not being included in the squad for the Galatasaray game.

Zidane included Diego Altube and Adrian de la Fuente in the session, which saw the Real Madrid squad work on fitness, ball circulation and pressing, while there was also a game on a reduced size pitch.
