The Real Madrid players not involved in the World Cup have ended their 3-week break and have now returned to training.

With the bulk of the squad yet to resume, Carlo Ancelotti will have the opportunity to have a look at some of the Castilla players. The likes of Sergio Arribas, Carlos Dotor, Takuhiro Nakai, Bruno Iglesias and Iker Bravo are worthy mentions.

Meanwhile, the La Liga resumes on December 31 with Real Madrid playing away to Real Valladolid.
