Brazil defender Marcelo is back in Madrid at Valdebebas after his break following the World Cup. He joined up with his team-mate Casemiro and also Albert Celades, Julen Lopetegui's new assistant.

With the first team squad on their US tour, and World Cup players coming back to Madrid, they are only waiting for finalists Raphael Varane and Croatian duo Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic.

Marcelo trained with Casemiro under orders from fitness coach Javier Mallo and under Celades' watchful eye, after he left his Spain U21 role to join Lopetegui.

 

Madrid will face Roma at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on August 8.
