Militão Travels to Rome / Mourinho's Surprise Champions League Squad

Real Madrid continued training at Valdebebas and is already preparing for Wednesday's Champions League match against Roma.

According to "Verzeh Se", Eder Militao and Mendy, who are both on the list of Italian travelers, trained together with other players. This is another important step in the return of these two defenders to the field, although it seems that their presence in the upcoming match is a little premature.

28-year-old Militau has been in group training longer than his 31-year-old French teammate. On September 28, the centre-back underwent a medical and Finnish surgeon Laci Lampäinen, who operated on his hamstring tendon, confirmed he could return to group training and focus on the final phase of his fitness. However, he has only been training with the rest of the team for a week and Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho confirmed before the game against Villarreal that Militão will need several weeks to fully return to action.

Mandy also still needs more time. He returned to group practice last Friday after recovering from a severe muscle injury. In addition, his name is still not registered in the list of players present in the Champions League, but his recovery process is very promising.

In recent weeks, the technical staff has been carefully monitoring his training process to determine the exact time of use of this left defender. Mendy last played on May 5 and underwent hamstring surgery a week later.
