Regroup! Marca: Only 11 players from Real Madrid were called up by the national team, which is less than usual, ushering in a breather

"Marca" reported that Real Madrid, the leader in La Liga, ushered in the second international match day of the season, which was regarded by the team as a "strategic breathing space" that was "worth thousands of dollars". Head coach Xabi Alonso believes that this break is crucial for the team to restore physical fitness and prepare for the tough schedule ahead.

The biggest benefit of this intermission is that key players can rest. Joan Armene, Ernesto Valverde and Bellingham, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, will all remain in Madrid.

It is said that Bellingham decided not to participate in the England team's game after communicating with Tuchel, and he will use this time to recover. In this regard, Alonso said: "After coming back, after another two weeks of training, he will get better day by day, and will play an important role in the October schedule."

However, young central defender Huizen withdrew due to muscle fatigue injuries just after reporting to the national team, which sounded a wake-up call for Real Madrid and highlighted the extreme fatigue of some players in the team.

Only 11 Real Madrid players have been called up by the national team this time, which is less than usual, including Courtois, Vinicius, Mbappe and others. The club believes that for players such as Rodrygo, Camavinga, and Dias who need more game time, the call-up to the national team is a good opportunity to help them regain their rhythm and confidence.

After the break, Real Madrid will face a devilish schedule against Getafe, Juventus, Barcelona and Valencia. The effect of adjustments during this interval will be crucial.
