Madrid Universal reports that Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr returned to group training at Valdebebas on Thursday morning, easing Real Madrid’s worries before Sunday’s La Liga fixture against Celta Vigo.

Concerns had grown on Wednesday when both forwards worked individually away from Carlo Ancelotti’s main group, prompting fears of possible absences.

Those fears were eased as the pair were cleared to rejoin the squad and took part in full group drills on Thursday.

With their return to full training, Mbappé and Vinicius are expected to feature from the start against Celta Vigo on Sunday.

The swift resolution leaves Ancelotti preparing for the Celta match with his forward line intact.
