Good news for Real Madrid: Rodrygo close, treatment room clearing | OneFootball

The Brazilian completed his second consecutive training session with the team, while Mbappé, Valverde and Konaté continue to make progress in their recoveries. Rodrygo and Mendy are also stepping up their comeback processes.

Real Madrid are starting to receive good news from Valdebebas. After learning that Kylian Mbappé avoided a serious injury to his left knee, the club also celebrated another step forward from Éder Militão.

The Brazilian defender completed training with the rest of his teammates for the second consecutive day, a positive sign as he enters the final phase of his recovery.

Militão trains with the group again

The players available to José Mourinho carried out activation drills, rondos and possession work during the session.

Training ended with a small-sided game, on a day when the Portuguese coach also called on several players from the youth ranks.

For Militão, the main development was completing the full team session for the second straight day. The Brazilian continues to make significant progress after an injury that kept him off the pitch for several months.

His return will give Mourinho another option in a defense that has had to cope with numerous absences at the start of the season.

Mbappé, Valverde and Konaté still training separately

The players who recently suffered physical issues have not yet rejoined the group.

Mbappé, Federico Valverde and Dayot Upamecano worked indoors as they continue their respective recovery processes.

In the Frenchman’s case, the diagnosis turned out to be far more favorable than expected. His hyperextension in the left knee will keep him out for around 10 to 12 days, so the coaching staff will have to carefully assess his return.

Meanwhile, the aim is for all three to gradually rejoin training during the coming week.

Rodrygo and Mendy also step things up

Real Madrid’s treatment room is also starting to show positive signs with two players who have been sidelined for several months.

Rodrygo is already doing individual drills with the ball after beginning to jog on the grass in September. The Brazilian continues to progress in his recovery after suffering a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial meniscus in his right knee.

The forward is now around seven months on from that injury and, if his recovery continues as expected, he could return in December.

For his part, Ferland Mendy is also working with the ball on the grass at Valdebebas. The Frenchman underwent surgery in May for an injury to the biceps femoris tendon.

Real Madrid are remaining cautious with his recovery due to his injury history and do not want to set a specific date for his return. However, current estimates suggest he could return to competition toward the end of 2026.

The squad’s situation is therefore beginning to change gradually: while some players are still training alone, Militão is now integrated into full team training and the injury list is starting to shrink.
