Iker Casillas insists his number one target is to regain a place in Real Madrid's starting XI after being dropped by Jose Mourinho for the trip to Malaga last time out.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has insisted that he is completely focused on regaining a starting place in Jose Mourinho's side.

Casillas was dropped for Madrid's final match before the winter break as the reigning champions went down to a 3-2 defeat at Malaga.

The Spain captain believes that while competition from Antonio Adan is healthy, he feels fit and ready to regain the number one spot.

He told reporters: "I'm training myself to fight, to fight and to recover the position. It is the goal that I have and that the coach selects me in the next game.

"I feel good but I'm not a machine, I have to train every day and there are better and worse times, but I feel fine.

"Above Casillas is Madrid. The decision is the coach's. In any case, the day I no longer have the desire to work, I'll stop."

Madrid are struggling to retain their La Liga title at the halfway stage, trailing league leaders Barcelona by 16 points.
