The absence of a prominent in the training of Real Madrid before the confrontation of Alves

Real Madrid were trained on Thursday morning in preparation for the match against Deportivo Alves on Saturday in the 25th round of the Spanish league.

Meringue will host Alaves at Santiago Bernabeu and prepare to continue their winning streak since beating Real Sociedad by five to two goals in the 23rd week of La Liga.

Lucas Blancos are also looking to get closer to Atletico Madrid, second on the table, seven points away from their arch-rivals.

The training saw the absence of the young Spanish star Marco Asencio to conduct a surgery to remove the wisdom tooth, in addition to the injured four: Luca Modric, Tony Cross, Jesus Vallejo and Marcelo, who will not be available for Saturday.

Zinedine Zidane's team has been recovering since winning over Sociedad, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final of the Champions League and then winning 5-0 at Real Betis in Pinto Villamarin and then in the postponed 16-16 Leganes 2-1.
