​Real Madrid duo in contention to enter squad for Inter Milan matchReal Madrid are set to kick off their Champions League campaign on Tuesday when they host Inter Milan at the Bernabeu.Jose Mourinho’s side will be looking to bounce back after suffering their first defeat of the season, a 1-0 loss to Real Betis last time out.And ahead of the crucial European opener, the Portuguese has received a timely boost, with Thiago Pitarch and Endrick both in contention to feature.Pitarch and Endrick back in trainingEndrick could enter Real Madrid squad vs Inter.

Both are now in contention to make the squad vs Inter.All three had been sidelined by injury, with Pitarch having suffered a torn medial collateral ligament during pre-season and Endrick nursing a muscular problem. Their return to team training is a welcome development for Mourinho, even if none of the trio are likely to start given they missed more than a month of preparation.Of the group, Pitarch and Endrick are reported to have the best chance of making the matchday squad, with the pair now working to sharpen their fitness in the coming days.Why Pitarch could prove crucialPitarch’s availability could be crucial for Real Madrid.

With Tchouameni also only just returning from a groin issue, the young Spaniard could offer valuable depth in an area where Mourinho has few alternatives.For Endrick, meanwhile, the game represents a chance to make his competitive debut under Mourinho and begin clawing back ground on Carlos Espi in the race for a bench role in attack.While Mourinho will not want to rush any of his returning players, having Pitarch and Endrick back in the fold offers him some much-needed flexibility as Real Madrid look to make a statement in Europe.
