Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos and right back Danny Carvajal returned to training to strengthen the defense of the coach, Zinedine Zidane, before facing his guest Borussia Moenchengladbach today, at midnight UAE time, as the fate of the Spanish team in the European Champions League is in the wind.
Ramos, who has not played for Real Madrid since 11 November, due to a hamstring problem, completed a full training session for the second day in a row.
Carvajal, who has only started four times in all competitions this season due to two injuries, returned to training the day before yesterday.
The two players missed a 2-0 defeat away to Shakhtar Donetsk last week, which means that the 13-time European champion is required to beat Group B leaders Gladbach, to ensure qualification for the knockout rounds for the 24th consecutive year, a record.
The defeat means Real Madrid retreating to the European League for the first time since the 1994-1995 season, when the tournament was called the European Cup, while the Champions League will be deposited in the event of a tie, unless Inter Milan succeeds in defeating Shakhtar.
Ramos' return comes at a great time for Real Madrid, who have lost their last nine Champions League matches in the absence of the prominent defender.
Real will miss the efforts of striker Hazard, midfield duo Federico Valverde, who is recovering from a broken leg, and Martin Odegaard.
