Toni Kroos set to return from injury against Chelsea

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos looks set to make his return from injury in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Chelsea.

The Germany international has missed Los Blancos' last three matches as a precautionary measure, having sustained a niggling injury while away with his country last month.

However, the 31-year-old took part in full training with his Madrid teammates on Sunday and is now in contention to start against Chelsea at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.

Kroos has featured 38 times for Zinedine Zidane's side in all competitions this season, the most recent of those appearances coming against Liverpool 12 days ago.

Madrid are expected to be without Ferland Mendy in midweek, though, as the full-back did not take part in training on Sunday.
