Lucas Vázquez: Real Madrid winger returns to group training
There was good news for Real in Tuesday's session, which also saw Los Blancos pose with the awards won at the FIFA gala in Switzerland.
Real Madrid were handed a fitness boost on Tuesday morning as winger Lucas Vázquez returned to group training at the club's Valdebebas base.
Vázquez back from muscle problem
He has been unable to go through his paces with his team-mates since returning from the festive break with a calf issue picked up at the Club World Cup.
Meanwhile, Isco and James Rodríguez trained indoors, with the Spaniard struggling with a knock suffered against Granada at the weekend.
