Real Madrid squandered the league at home against Valencia yesterday after losing 1-2. Even more so after seeing Barça's draw later against Betis.

But this morning, Carlo Ancelotti received very good news with the return of a player for Arsenal. Meanwhile, he received 2 bad news in the form of players not recovered for Tuesday in the Champions League.

The Good News: Courtois

Melchor Ruíz from Cope reported the following about the goalkeeper: "Courtois works normally."

A player in a green and blue training uniform is on a grass field, controlling a ball with his right foot while wearing orange gloves and sneakers.

Therefore, we can already know that the Belgian will be the starter in the Champions League match on Tuesday against Arsenal.

The Bad News: Ceballos and Mendy

About Dani Ceballos, he said the following: "Ceballos a part with the group." And about the French full-back Mendy: "Mendy, indoors."

It is true that Ceballos did a part with the group, but it seems difficult for him to make it by Tuesday. And Mendy's situation is completely ruled out.

Real Madrid's website reported this after said training:

"The team completed the first training session at Ciudad Real Madrid to prepare for the match against Arsenal. Ancelotti's team visits the English side this Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals (9:00 p.m., Movistar Liga de Campeones).

Ancelotti's team started with joint warm-ups and rondos. Then, they carried out possession, ball exit, and pressure exercises before completing a series of matches on a reduced-size field.

The training concluded with shots on goal. Ceballos completed a part indoors and another with the group, while Mendy trained inside."

We Risk It All in the Champions League Against Arsenal

Real Madrid's defeat against Valencia and Barça's draw leaves us 4 points behind Flick's team. Among Madridists, many people already think that the league is very difficult.

Where there are hopes and desires placed is in the Champions League, Real Madrid's favorite competition. It will be on Tuesday in London against Arsenal that the team must show everything they have.
