Alert at Racing before hosting Real Madrid

Racing forward Andrés Martín misses Friday's training with minor muscle soreness ahead of Sunday's visit from Real Madrid.

Racing de Santander completed Friday's training session without forward Andrés Martín, who is carrying slight muscle soreness ahead of Sunday's La Liga encounter against Real Madrid. Manager José Alberto López confirmed in his post-session press conference that Martín sat out due to the minor discomfort, while the rest of the first-team squad trained normally. The session at Santi Gutiérrez Calle focused on tactical preparation for the match. Goalkeepers Julen Agirrezabala, Simon Erikksson and Laro Gómez completed specific drills with goalkeeper coach Pedro Dorronsoro after the main group work. Racing will conclude their preparation on Saturday, one day before Real Madrid visit El Sardinero for the eleventh round of La Liga.
