Veteran Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez has issued a rallying call ahead of the 2022/23 season.
Fernandez was amongst the group of players returning to action at Valdebebas as Los Blancos kicked off their pre-season schedule in Madrid.
The 2021/22 campaign saw a return to dominance for the club as Carlo Ancelotti masterminded a Spanish and European double at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
However, despite their success at the back end of last season, the club have not stood still in recent weeks with key reinforcements brought into the squad.
Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni have arrived as long standing squad players have moved on from the Spanish capital.
The new faces will strengthen Ancelotti’s options and Nacho wants his teammates to hit the ground running next month
“Hello Madridistas. We are back to work and back home”, as per an interview with Real Madrid’s social media channels.
