"The big news is the return to the squad of Gareth Bale, who completed the whole training session with his team-mates, said Real on its website.

The 28-year-old had been out since the end of September with a calf injury.

Real could also see France centre-back Raphael Varane and Spain full-back Dani Carvajal return to the fold after they partially took part in training.

Varane has had a groin problem while Carvajal was suffering from a virus.

Real's next match is a Liga encounter at home to Las Palmas on Sunday night.
