Real Madrid's Sami Khedira returns to training

Sami Khedira rejoined his Real Madrid teammates in a session at the club's training base earlier today.

The midfielder missed last night's 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo because of a leg injury that he sustained during Germany's 6-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland last week.

However, his presence during training this afternoon means that he is now in contention to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this Wednesday, according to Marca.

Full-backs Marcelo, Alvaro Arbeloa and Fabio Coentrao are all rated as doubtful for the clash with the German champions after they failed to recover from knocks for today's session.
