Real Madrid began their preseason training under new coach Xabi Alonso, just 15 days before their LaLiga opener against Osasuna on August 19. The first-team squad reported for medical tests and participated in an evening training session. Madrid's request to postpone their debut was denied due to a lack of regulations on preparation time, resulting in a short training period after the Club World Cup. The team secured new players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and others, aiming to enhance performance compared to the previous season.
Real Madrid's first-team squad reported for duty at the club's Valdebebas training ground on Monday morning, with the players undergoing medical tests, before a training session at 6 p.m. local time.
Madrid's players now begin preseason training just two weeks ahead of their first game of the season against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Alonso took charge of Madrid ahead of the Club World Cup -- after predecessor Carlo Ancelotti left the club following a 2024-25 campaign without a major trophy.
Madrid have signed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras and Franco Mastantuono as they look to improve on last season.
