Just hours after the controversial events involving the presence of an ineligible player, Denis Cheryshev, out on the pitch in the first leg of their Spanish Cup last-32 tie away to Cadiz, Real Madrid had no choice but to turn the page and begin preparations for Getafe's visit to the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday.

The good news was that Marcelo trained with the rest of the squad. Meanwhile, Sergio Ramos, Raphaël Varane and Dani Carvajal continued with their respective recoveries, and Kiko Casilla and Pepe both trained in the gym.

Rafa Benítez told the outfield players who featured at the Ramón de Carranza stadium to hold a normal recovery session. The rest of the squad who did not play in Cádiz - Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Danilo, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Marcelo, plus Real Madrid Castilla's Álvaro Tejero, Marcos Llorente, Philipp Lienhart, Borja Mayoral, Martin Ødegaard and Mariano Díaz - all took part in an intense training session, during which Benítez focused on possession, putting pressure on the opposition and attacking moves, before finishing up with a training match.
