Carlo Ancelotti return to Real Madrid training ground for emotional reunion

Carlo Ancelotti made an emotional return to Real Madrid’s training ground on Thursday where the former manager welcomed the opportunity to reunite with his old players and keep an eye on the work of three injured Brazil internationals.

According to reports, Ancelotti returned to Valdebebas ahead of Real Madrid’s crucial meeting with Real Betis and suggested a more formal hosting scenario.

Ancelotti is now in charge of the Brazil national team, which means the fitness of the three Madrid players fits perfectly with current goals.

The 67-year-old closely observed the three Brazilians monitoring their recovery trajectories closely as their recovery progressed smoothly.

Ancelotti was available to call upon Endrick while Rodrygo and Militao were both affected by chronic injuries at the last 2026 FIFA World Cup.

These persistent issues have continued to make their availability a key concern for the Brazil coach as another international window looms.

Furthermore, the Madrid manager remains without Aurelien Tchouameni Raul Asensio Ferland Mendy, Thiagi Pitarch, and Militao is also regaining match fitness.
