Ahead of the Champions League clash with champions Chelsea, Real Madrid duo Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy were back in training on Thursday.
If they regain full fitness, they might be able to make the trip to Galicia to face Celta Vigo this Saturday.
Both players missed El Clasico just before the international break, but they have now recovered from their respective muscular injuries and working to return to match sharpness.
If they feel ready enough for Saturday’s crucial LaLiga Santander match then they’ll travel to Vigo, but the focus is on returning for the Champions League quarter-final first leg away at Chelsea next Wednesday.
