Solari's Castilla face first pre-season test in Segovia
Real Madrid Castilla take on third division side Gimnástica Segoviana in the first test for Santiago Solari's side.
Real Madrid Castilla play their first pre-season friendly match this evening in the compact La Albuera stadium as they face third division outfit Gimnástica Segoviana.
New Argentinian coach Santiago Solari has been working with his squad since July 19 and has seen more players depart through the exit door than arrive to bolster his squad.
There will be no Llorente, Febas, Mariano, Tejero, Achraf, Lienhart, Enzo, Luca, Craninx, Odegaard or recent signing Sergio Díaz tonight as they have all been called up by Zidane to join the first team squad as part of their Montreal training camp. New signing Tena along with players back from their respective loan deals such as Mario Hermoso (Real Valladolid), Fran Pérez (Sporting B), Luismi Quezada (Olot), Borja Sánchez (Fuenlabrada) and De Tomás (Córdoba) are all available to Solari this evening.
Castilla are currently scheduled to play five pre-season matches: after tonight's game in Segovia they face new LaLiga side Leganés on July 30. August 6 is the date of the away game in Huesca. They continue their preparation with a trip to Mérida on the 10th before finishing with a home game against Valladolid Promesas on Sunday August 14.
Castilla start their 2016/17 campaign with a home game against Real Sociedad B at the Alfredo Di Stéfano on the weekend of August 20/21.
