Real Madrid ease concerns over Mastantuono's thigh knock
The Argentine youngster is expected to rejoin training with the squad on Wednesday as Los Blancos prepare for their weekend clash with Real Sociedad.
Madrid’s medical staff confirm the teenage sensation is recovering well from a left thigh injury and should return to full training tomorrow if his recovery continues as expected.
Tuesday training session
Real Madrid completed their first training session of the week at Valdebebas on Tuesday with one eye firmly on Saturday’s La Liga clash against Real Sociedad at the Bernabéu.
Arbeloa and his coaching staff designed an intensive session with a clear division between those who started the last league match and those who didn’t:
- Substitutes: Put through their paces with a demanding physical workout
- Starters: Focused on recovery with stretching exercises, endless running series, rondos, and additional gym work

The session was notable for several absences and players on individualized recovery programs:
- Franco Mastantuono: Worked individually with physiotherapists inside the facilities as he recovers from his left thigh contusion
- Éder Militão: Continuing his specific recovery plan
- Rodrygo Goes: Working separately as he rehabilitates
- Jude Bellingham: Also following a personalized recovery program
Club calm about Mastantuono
Despite the Argentine youngster training apart from the group, Madrid sources have moved to ease any concerns about his condition. The club is projecting confidence about his recovery, with officials confirming he “is suffering from the previously reported left thigh knock” but emphasizing that he’s expected to “return to normal training with the group tomorrow.”
The coaching staff remains optimistic about gradually reintegrating all injured players when their physical conditions permit, though specific return dates haven’t been established for Militão, Rodrygo, and Bellingham.
