At 8:15 a.m. the squad was summoned for medical examinations, but there was no time to lose.

Mourinho has had 11 first team players: Adan, Jesus (goalkeeper), Varane, Lass, Sahin, Granero, Kaka, Di Maria, Callejon, Higuain and Morata are the players that have been in Valdebebas Sports City. Some players from the youth teams have joined the first training. Missing the 11 players who played in Euro 2012 (Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, Coentrao, Khedira, Ozil, Casillas, Arbeloa, Albiol, Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso) and Marcelo, who is training with Brazil to play the Olympics. Ricardo Carvalho and Fernando Gago have not gone to Valdebebas. Mourinho has gave them a few days to resolve their future.

The goal of the coach is clear: players have to adapt to the dynamics of training during the first days. As usual Morunho is going to be very aware of how his players have come back after more than 50 days of vacation. It was a long time off, so technicians prepared a work plan for players in order to not gain weight on vacation and maintain optimal physical conditions.
