The World Cup is coming to an end and only four teams will have a chance to touch glory and the return of league matches return is closer than expected.
Real Madrid have already started training ahead of the last game of the year against Valladolid on 30th December. In addition, Ancelotti has come across an unexpected surprise.
The Spanish side will have their most important players at their disposal earlier than expected with the early elimination of national teams, such as Brazil, Spain and Uruguay.
Courtois, Valverde, Asensio, Carvajal and Rudiger will join the rest of the squad after a few days' holiday. The Brazilians Vinicius, Rodrygo and Militao will join a little later.
