Eden Hazard could return from injury against Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Champions League on Tuesday after training with Real Madrid.
Hazard's last appearance came in the Champions League last-16 second-leg defeat at Manchester City in August.
The Belgian, 29, went off in the 83rd minute in Manchester and has not played since due to a muscular injury to his right thigh, the latest in a litany of injuries that blighted his first season at Madrid.
That was just the kind of news Real needed after losing their Champions League opener 3-2 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk last Wednesday. They did, however, bounce back with a 3-1 La Liga victory at Barcelona on Saturday.
Manager Zinedine Zidane said Hazard's return to training was "good news" but gave no hint if the former Chelsea forward would play against the Germans.
"We're all pleased he's with us and we'll see how we use him," Zidane said, speaking from Borussia Park. "The important thing is that he's back and that's a big positive for us."
The Frenchman added he hopes to continue the momentum from the clasico victory.
"We want to perform as we did in el clasico and take the points," said Zidane.
"The performance we delivered in el clasico is exactly the kind of display we need to produce. We played well, fought as a team and the most important thing is that we try and do that."
