One key point was Camavinga, with the French midfielder fit to potentially start against Levante.
Speaking on Camavinga, Alonso said, "I'm excited because he hasn't been with us for so long. I know him from having seen him play, but I'm looking forward to working with him. I think he has huge potential and lots of qualities.
"Within the collective project, there are individual projects, and he's one of them. What he's done so far is important, but he still has a long way to go. He's eager and motivated.
"Individually, he has very different qualities. From the ‘6’ position, with his dribbling, he can get into the final third. He's not static, he's dynamic."
Camavinga has been linked with a move away from Real in 2026, with Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle all interested in Camavinga.
Alonso could play a key role in keeping the Frenchman at the Bernabeu, with the manager wanting to maintain a strong midfield.
