Varane, Nacho miss Real Madrid training

Madrid, April 27 (IANS) Defenders Raphael Varane and Nacho Fernandez did not take part in Real Madrid's group training, four days ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

Nacho's recovery was still underway, while Varane, Isco and Dani Carvajal took their training to the gym, reported Efe.

"Zidane called up Castilla players Leon, Tejero and Campuzano and the under-19 goalkeeper Dario in a session that the madridistas started with warm-up exercises with the ball," the La Liga club said in a statement.

"Next, they worked on possession and pressing and played matches in tight spaces. The session ended with crossing and finishing," it added.

Real Madrid are set to take on Leganes in a league match on Saturday, and Bayern in the Champions League on Tuesday.
