Aurelien Tchouameni returns to training ahead of Espanyol match
Summary

Aurelien Tchouameni has resumed group training with Real Madrid ahead of their La Liga opener against Espanyol. The midfielder had been sidelined due to muscle discomfort but is now in line for a place in the matchday squad. His full participation in pre-season was limited, raising questions about a potential starting role. Federico Valverde and Bernardo Silva are likely to start in midfield, providing more match readiness as Tchouameni's return is managed cautiously.
