Real Madrid continued preparing for this week’s two commitments on Tuesday. Karim Benzema was on hand after missing Monday due to a bout of gastroenteritis, while Higuain, Van der Vaart and Van Nistelrooy continued their gym work. 
There were few changes with respect to Monday’s session. Karim Benzema appeared fully recovered and trained without incident alongside his teammates. The squad began with their warmup jog and subsequently moved on to fitness drills and ball work under the orders of Jose Cabello. Casillas, Dudek and Adan, meanwhile, worked out with Xabier Mancisidor.
Van Nistelrooy, Higuain and Van der Vaart returned to the gym following Manuel Pellegrini’s morning chat. The Dutch striker has a strained left triceps surae, his Dutch counterpart has a mildly torn muscle on the sole of his left foot and Higuain tore a left thigh muscle last week.
