It was a day filled with good news at Real Madrid's training facility, as Zinedine Zidane will have to top performers back for their crucial trip to Vigo.
During their first training session of the week before their clash against Celta, James Rodriguez and Pepe were allowed to join the entire team on the pitch. Both players had been dealing with muscular injuries recently, and their availability will help Zidane to sort things out in defense and in midfield.
Rodriguez's presence should come in handy to a team that had struggled in the creative department during the latest games, which include their Copa del Rey elimination against Celta.
"Good news! James Rodriguez and Pepe are back with the team!"

Regarding other injured players, Luka Modric and Marcelo are still training by themselves, while Carvajal and Bale are still working on their recovery process. Nevertheless, James' and Pepe's presence will come in handy for "Zizou" during this complicated month, which will see Los Blancos playing several La Liga and UCL games.
