Jose Mourinho Expresses Concerns Over Real Madrid's Depleted Squad

Real Madrid's head coach Jose Mourinho expressed concerns regarding his team's performance and player availability following a friendly match against Fiorentina, which ended in a 2-2 draw in Austria.

The match saw Real Madrid initially take a 2-0 lead with goals from Endrick and Alexis Ciria, but Fiorentina equalized with strikes from Roberto Piccoli and Moise Kean. Mourinho noted that his squad displayed three different phases during the game, highlighting the challenges posed by a physically demanding second half.

Despite being pleased with the performance of young players like Joan Martinez and Mario Rivas, Mourinho acknowledged the team's fatigue and the limited training time available due to several key players resting after the World Cup. He is looking forward to the return of players such as Vinicius Junior and Bernardo Silva as the team prepares for their La Liga opener against Espanyol on August 22.
