Bale returns to training ahead of Calderón clash

Real Madrid returned to training on Sunday morning after the previous day's defeat of Eibar with the focus now on Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Atlético in the Calderón. Gareth Bale returned to contact training with the group after being omitted from the squad to face Eibar with a muscle injury, as manager Carlo Ancelotti stated, the Italian preferring to hand the Wales winger a rest ahead of the European clash.

Bale looks set to be fit to start against Atlético, and Ancelotti should be able to call on his entire squad for the match at the Calderón. Pepe picked up a knock against Eibar on his return from injury but will be available on Tuesday.
