Dani Ceballos injured: which players will go on Real Madrid’s US pre-season tour?

Dani Ceballos has become the first entry to the Real Madrid injury room at their Valdebebas training ground, after the club revealed via an official statement that the ex-Betis midfielder had suffered “an injury to the distal tendon in his right thigh”.

The player, who is on a long list of first-team midfielders currently at the club, is now a doubt for Real Madrid’s upcoming pre-season tour of the United States, which kicks off against AC Milan on July 23 at Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.

Which players are back training with Real Madrid?

Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is not yet full, as the international players are still yet to return to training. Players like Luka Modric, Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Vini Jr and Eduardo Camavinga are all still away on holiday, as they were given a slightly longer break than those players who did not feature for their national sides.

As such, the squad is not complete and Ancelotti has only had a few players back to begin the process of preparing for the new season. He has, however, had the chance to take a look at the newly-signed players such as Fran García Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler.
