Zinedine Zidane Handed Huge Injury Boost as 3 Real Madrid Stars Return to Training

Real Madrid have welcomed James Rodríguez, Ferland Mendy and Brahim Díaz back to training ahead of their clash with Real Mallorca.

The trio have all been sidelined through injury in recent weeks, adding to manager Zinedine Zidane's injury woes this season.

However, as noted by Marca, all three returned to first-team training on Monday and are now expected to be available to feature in some capacity against Mallorca on Saturday.

Madrid are most confident of being able to include Rodríguez in the matchday squad. The Colombia international has been battling a calf injury and has been restricted to just working in the gym during the international break, but now appears to have shaken off the issue.
