Madrid quartet back in training

James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema, Pepe and Alvaro Arbeloa are all back in training for Real Madrid, but not all of the quartet are in contention for the weekend.

Marca reports Benzema is the nearest to a comeback and could play against Las Palmas, and worked with the ball with defender Arbeloa.

Pepe and James, however, were training alone, so though they are back able to take to the field, they’re not thought to be close to being available for selection by Rafa Benitez.

It was a sparsely attended session, Marca notes, with Keylor Navas, Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Isco, Toni Kroos and Cristiano Ronaldo all absent with the Coach’s permission.
