Real Madrid pair Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy return to first-team training ahead on Saturday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

Real Madrid pair Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy have returned to first-team training ahead on Saturday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

Both players were forced to miss the 4-0 El Clasico defeat against Barcelona on March 20, with Benzema suffering with a calf injury, while Mendy had picked up a thigh problem.

However, the French duo have since returned to training on Thursday and will be looking to build up their fitness as they bid to feature in this weekend's league fixture at the Estadio de Balaidos against Celta Vigo.

Should Benzema and Mendy feature on Saturday, they could also be in contention to play against Chelsea in the first leg of Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final at Stamford Bridge next Wednesday.

Elsewhere, Toni Kroos has recovered from illness and will be available to start for Carlo Ancelotti's side in midfield, while Casemiro, Luka Modric, Eder Militao, Rodrygo, Federico Valverde and Gareth Bale have all returned from international duty and are in contention to play this weekend.

Luka Jovic and Isco, meanwhile, are both doubtful with respective ankle and back problems, while Eden Hazard has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing an operation to remove a metal plate in his right fibula.
