Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal worked out in the gym during the penultimate preparatory session ahead of Sunday's Spanish Super Cup final against FC Barcelona, although he is expected to train on Saturday and be available for 'El Clasico'.
Carvajal, who was named best player in the semi-final against Atletico Madrid thanks to his goal and two assists, carried out various activation and recovery exercises with the club's physiotherapists in the gym at the Al-Nassr facilities.
Despite this, there are no fears at the club that he will not be able to play against FC Barcelona in a match that will be a repeat of last season's final, in which Xavi's side won 3-1 to take home the title.
Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti was able to count on the rest of the squad for the first time since the 5-3 extra-time win over Atletico.
Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga trained on Friday without setbacks. The latter did so again with a knee brace on his right knee to protect the joint in which he suffered a ruptured external ligament in mid-November.
Moreover, Toni Kroos is being pampered by the medical staff due to ankle discomfort that has not yet subsided. Carlo Ancelotti's men warmed up during a 15-minute training session open to the media in Riyadh with continuous running and ball exercises.
Real Madrid will complete their preparations on Saturday ahead of the Super Cup final, a competition in which they are chasing their thirteenth title should they win the final against FC Barcelona, who are seeking their fifteenth trophy.
