Real Madrid full-back Marcelo back in full training

Marcelo has returned to training with Real Madrid and is expected to be in contention for next week's Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 29-year-old has been out of action for Los Blancos since pulling up in the 5-3 win over Real Betis on February 18, seeing him miss his side's last three matches as a result.

Boss Zinedine Zidane has been handed a boost ahead of next Tuesday's last-16 return leg against PSG, though, as the Brazilian left-back now appears to be available for selection.

Madrid confirmed on their official Twitter account on Thursday afternoon that young defender Jesus Vallejo is also back in contention, but Saturday's home match with Getafe is likely to come too soon for both men.

Marcelo scored the third goal for the reigning European champions in their 3-1 win over PSG in the first leg two weeks ago.
