Real Madrid closes 2024 with a home match in La Liga against Sevilla on December 22.
Los Blancos will be forced to wait to see if they can end the year as leaders as pace setters Barcelona host Atletico Madrid the day before.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have started training ahead of the match again after their return from Qatar.
A resounding 3-0 victory in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final over Pachuca has boosted confidence and the first title of the season has now been secured.
However, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, a host of key stars have missed training today as Ancelotti draws up his plans for the weekend.
No concerns about new injuries were reported upon Lusail's return, but fans were concerned about some big names staying at the Valdebebas gym.
The club have allayed these concerns, saying it was part of the rest plan, with suspended Vinicius Junior the only name excluded, alongside three long-term injured players.
