Real Madrid youngster spotted in first-team training ahead of Alavés | OneFootball

An up-and-coming member of the academy ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid was afforded a call-up to senior training on Saturday.

The player in question? Jesús Fortea.

Real Madrid are of course currently in the thick of preparations for a return to action on Sunday evening.

Fresh off a hugely disappointing defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the Champions League in midweek, Los Blancos have shifted focus back towards matters on the domestic front.

A La Liga meeting with Deportivo Alavés lies in wait, at Mendizorroza.

And as alluded to above, on the eve of the clash, Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff opted to call upon a highly-regarded defensive starlet to take part in training.

Widely considered one of the standout talents making his way through La Fábrica, Fortea is an 18-year-old right-back, considered a potential future first-team star in the making.

The Spaniard, in turn, was afforded his latest opportunity to impress at Valdebebas on Saturday afternoon:
