Real Madrid stars Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos trained with the rest of the squad and will be available for selection for Sunday’s Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid.
Bale has been out since mid September due to a calf injury he suffered in a Champions League encounter against Ukrainian side Shakhtar Dontesk.
Ramos, too, suffered a shoulder injury in the same game that the Madrid giants won 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The return of the duo to full fitness is good news for manager Rafael Benitez as he prepares his side to take them on an intimidating trip to the Vicente Calderon – the site of their 4-0 defeat last term – on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid midfield lynchpin Koke is pushing to be fit and make Diego Simeone’s side this weekend.
