Needless to say, the players who featured in the 2022 World Cup will have more days to rest and get ready for the second half of the season.

so only Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy, Andriy Lunin, Jesus Vallejo, Nacho Fernandez, Lucas Vazquez, Alvaro Odriozola and Mariano Diaz were present at Valdebebas today.

The rest of the squad will progressively return to training, so coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to rely on that small squad to get ready for what’s going to be a very intense month of January, featuring crucial games against Villarreal, Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad.

The players who didn’t play in the World Cup will likely have a prominent role during the first few games after the break.

Meanwhile…

Lovro Majer, Luka Modric’s teammate on the Croatian National Team, spoke to Spanish media outlet Marca today as the Croatians continue their quest to reach consecutive World Cup finals. Majer, who helped Croatia beat Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals, talked about Modric’s incredible level.

“He’s incredible, the way he continues to play at his age,” Majer said. “How old is he, 38?! He continues to be highly motivated, it’s incredible how he is on and off the pitch.

He is very easy to play with and is one of the main reasons we are here, achieving great things.
