Real Madrid coach Ancelotti boost as Marcelo, Mariano return to training

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti welcomed back several players ahead of their clash with Real Betis.

Ancelotti welcomed back Marcelo and Mariano Diaz to collective training. Both trained on the pitch with a ball but didn't complete the session.

Madrid remain without Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy and Luka Modric.

The Croatian isn't ruled out of the trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarin, but his progress will have to be monitored closely as the week develops. Nacho, meanwhile, trained in the gym.

Ancelotti will be looking to iron out the lapses of concentration seen in Sunday's 3-3 draw with Levante as another tricky away game lies ahead.
