As with Monday’s session, Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga took part with the group for a short spell before splitting off for individual work.

While their involvement in the group session was not for long, it still marked another step toward their full recovery, reports Mundo Deportivo.

Bellingham, initially, was expected to be out until late October after undergoing surgery on his bothersome shoulder. So, the fact that he is already taking part in group training sessions, even if it is not full-fledged, is a big positive for Real Madrid.

In fact, the expectation with the England international is that he could be back in action by the end of the month, when Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid in the first derby of the season.

As for Camavinga, who has been sidelined for almost a month due to an ankle injury, his return is expected to be closer than that of Bellingham, with it not being ruled out that he could be in the squad to face Real Sociedad later this week.

Meanwhile, the other injured stars, Ferland Mendy and Endrick, continued working separately from the squad. As for goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who left Ukraine’s camp due to a knock, he trained normally with the squad.
