Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard is reportedly in line to return from an ankle injury in the Madrid derby at home to Atletico Madrid on February 1.
The summer arrival from Chelsea has been on the sidelines since suffering a fractured ankle in the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of November.
Hazard had initially been tipped to return at the end of January, but according to Marca, the league clash with Atletico at the Bernabeu at the start of February has been identified as his comeback match.
The Belgium international has only scored once in 13 appearances for Los Blancos this term, having also struggled with a hamstring issue in the early stages of the campaign.
Marco Asensio also remains on the sidelines for Zinedine Zidane's side, although it is thought that the Spain international faces a battle to play again this season.
Madrid will face bitter rivals Atletico Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday night.
