Carvalho returned to training with Real Madrid

Ricardo Carvalho returned to training with Real Madrid and Mourinho after 117 days. The last time the central defender was with the first team was in the friendly against Kuwait national team (0-2) on May 16. Since then he has been away from the first team. He did not make the preseason with Real Madrid and was working alone in Oporto. The center-back had the excuse that it was looking team, but he continues in Madrid.

Mourinho said in a press conference that the player would not have opportunities to play: "He must decide whether to keep playing or he prefers to stay in Madrid and ends his career". Markets were closed in half of Europe with Carvalho working with Real Madrid Castilla. Then there was the option of Galatasaray (Turkey market closed on September 5), but did not respond to the offer. With this situation, Real Madrid had to enroll him both for Spanish League and Champions League (he will play with the number 11 on the Real Madrid jersey) to avoid legal problems.

Carvalho, who has one year left on his contract with a salary of 3 million euros, returned to the first team without international players (Only Adan, Jesus, Callejon, Essien, Morata and Kaka are players of the first team). Seven players from Real Madrid Castilla completed the squad for the workout: Casado, Mateos, Fabinho, Jose Rodriguez, Alex, Mosquera and Oscar Plano.

Carvalho's case is very similar to Kaka's, who also exercised on Monday under the supervision of Mourinho. The Brazilian was also at the exit door this summer, but will eventually dress the white shirt one more season.
