Real Madrid's first training session of the year brought with it good news for Carlo Ancelotti, as both Bale and Coentrao returned to the group and trained under normal conditions.

The Welsh forward trained with a leg guard for his left leg, but kept up with the pace of his teammates without any problems, and it looks like he will be ready for the upcoming league game this Monday (19:00h) against Celta. Bale has had an injury to his left thigh and was out for the match against Valencia at the Mestalla stadium and the Copa game against Xàtiva at the Benabéu.

Modric, Arbeloa and Marcelo, meanwhile, exercised inside the Real sports installations, while Casillas, given his new status as a father was given the day off to be with his family. Frenchman Raphael Varane continues to exercise apart from the group.
