After recuperating from a hamstring injury prior to the Clasico versus Barcelona, Kylian Mbappe exercised on Friday. Aurelien Tchouameni also participated after his altercation with colleague Federico Valverde.
Mbappe, the team's top scorer, had been out for two weeks, but Real said that two days prior to their trip to Barcelona, the French striker finished a portion of the group workout.
The day following his altercation with Valverde, which apparently required sutures, Tchouameni also participated in the workout.
Following the altercation on the training ground, which was one of several instances of this kind, the team stated that disciplinary actions have been taken against both players.
The possibility of a second straight season without a significant prize is causing tension at Real.
With an 11-point lead, Barcelona merely needs a draw in the Clasico to win the Spanish championship once more.
