As reported by Marca, Real Madrid's training session today was noticeable for long faces as coach Manuel Pellegrini met with his team in the dressing room to analyse Los Blancos' 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in Saturday's Clasico at the Bernabeu, Madrid's first Liga loss at the venue after 15 consecutive victories.
Kaka, Raul and Rafael van der Vaart were all absent from the session as each player continued with his own recovery from injury while Pepe and Drenthe took part in some light exercises before returning to the gym to continue their recoveries.
Pellegrini also relied heavily on members of the Madrid youth team to complete his training session, calling up eight players from the Castilla: Velayos, Felipe, Juanan, Opare, Sarabia, Luis Hernandez, Ruben Ramos, and Vazquez.
