Real Madrid centre-back Pepe could return to action against Las Palmas after completing a light training session yesterday.
The Portugal international was forced to sit out the 1-1 draw with Villarreal after sustaining damage to his knee but has stepped up preparations for a return this weekend.
Although he did not take part in full team training, the 33-year-old was able to complete an individual session on the Valdebebas pitches as Zinedine Zidane began preparations for Saturday’s La Liga visit to Gran Canaria.
