Colombian footballer James Rodriguez was absent for a second day from training with Real Madrid because of muscle strain, but this will not prevent him playing in the Champions League final if chief coach Zinedine Zidane considers him fit.
Alvaro Arbeloa, meanwhile, seems likely to miss the final against Atletico on May 28 after incurring a sprained knee, which means he will miss the training session on Friday, reports Efe.
Lucas Vazquez joined the group training on Friday after making a full recovery from the sprained knee that kept him from playing in the last La Liga game of the season against Deportivo La Coruna.
