Real Madrid called up two youth team players to help pad out their numbers for training on Wednesday after being left empty handed thanks to the international call-ups.

Adam Szalai and Luis Hernandez were promoted from the club's B side, Castilla as coach Manuel Pellegrini looks to give the up-and-coming starlets some invaluable experience.

While Royston Drenthe worked in the gym with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mahamadou Diarra, the eight first-team players left at Valdebebas were put through their paces.

Raul, Christoph Metzelder, Guti, Esteban Granero, Ezequiel Garay, Antonio Adan and Jerzy Dudek all took to the pitch, but the two goalkeepers worked on their specific programme.

Pellegrini gathered his players in to talk to them about tactical matters and to inform them about the next few days' training schedules as they will not have a full compliment of players for another week.
