11 senior & 10 youth players: Xabi Alonso’s first Real Madrid training session | OneFootball

An insight into the personnel at the disposal of new Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso in his first training session at the club has on Monday been provided.

This comes after the Spanish tactician officially kicked his new adventure on the Blancos bench into gear early this morning.

Alonso, of course, was the man chosen by those behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu to usher in a new era next season, following the dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti.

The 43-year-old is fresh off a stellar stint in the dugout at German outfit Bayer Leverkusen, with expectations high when it comes to his prospects with Real, too.

And on Monday, a number of the players set to be under his command in 2025/26 got a first glimpse at life under Alonso.

This comes amid confirmation of the exact group of players who took part in training at Valdebebas…

As per a report from Blancos insider Arancha Rodríguez, the following five first-team stars took full part in training:

Lucas Vázquez, Fran García, Dani Ceballos, Rodrygo and Raúl Asencio.

Completing part of the session amid ongoing injury recovery efforts, meanwhile, were:

Dani Carvajal, Brahim Díaz, Éder Militão, David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois and Federico Valverde.

And joining their first-team counterparts in training were a whole host of youth team players, as follows:

Sergio Mestre, Fran González, Chema, Youssef Enriquez Lekhedim, Gonzalo García, Jacobo Ramón, Víctor Muñoz, Jesús Fortea, Diego Aguado and Mario Martín.
