Ruud back in training
Monday, February 11, 2008

Ruud van Nistelrooy is back in full training and should return to the squad to meet Real Betis at the weekend, although Robinho remains doubtful...

Real Madrid's Monday training passed with no small measure of light-heartedness following the previous evening's 7-0 demolition of Real Valladolid.

There was also good news on the injury front. Miguel Torres and Ruud van Nistelrooy entered their final stage of their respective recoveries by taking to the Valdebebas pitch for some running work.

Gabriel Heinze, meanwhile, was able to join up with the full group as he looks to put his own injury woes behind them. He may join the other two in being ready to meet Real Betis at the weekend.

Robinho and Sergio Ramos, meanwhile, worked indoors, with the former being particularly doubtful for the trip to Andalucia, while Pepe continues his own specific recovery plan.

Javier Saviola, meanwhile, was able to work with the ball for the first time since suffering injury in what was overall a light training session.

Tuesday will see the Madrid squad given a day of rest, before a hard session on Wednesday ahead of the Saturday meeting in Seville.
