Real Madrid handed huge boost as Sergio Ramos and Ferland Mendy 'are passed fit for Champions League semi-final second leg at Chelsea'... but Raphael Varane is ruled OUT while Fede Valverde is sweating on the result of a Covid test

Sergio Ramos handed Real Madrid a boost ahead of their Champions League showdown with Chelsea by taking part in full training on Monday.

Real skipper Ramos, who was doing individual ball work on Sunday, has been out for over a month with a calf problem.

And his return for Wednesday's semi-final second leg could be timely, with fellow centre back Raphael Varane ruled out of the trip to Stamford Bridge with a thigh injury.

The centre-back has only played three matches in over the last four months
