Modric did not take part in the session but the club did not publish a medical statement

Zinedine Zidane got his internationals back ahead of Saturday's derby clash with Atletico

Real Madrid trained Thursday with the return of their international stars, bar Croatian midfielder Luka Modric, who did not feature and stayed in the gym, with his compatriot Mateo Kovacic, who is recovering from injury.

Zidane took charge of the session as usual but was without Modric, although Madrid have not published an injury statement explaining what the problem is.

Keylor Navas continues his comeback from injury too but is not expected to make the game on Saturday against rivals Atletico Madrid.

Luca Zidane and Gareth Bale are also out of action, while Dani Carvajal and Isco Alarcon both trained normally.
