Real Madrid defender Nacho is returning to training.

Nacho has tested negative for covid and will make a return to training in a day.

The Los Blancos academy product is expected to return to training on Thursday at Valdebebas after spending 13 days into self-isolation at his home.

It remains to be seen whether Nacho is in shape after missing out on almost two weeks of training with his teammates and whether he will be included by Zinedine Zidane in the squad list to face Huesca on Saturday.

With Eder Militao suspended after receiving a red card against Levante and Sergio Ramos still recovering from his injury, Zidane may opt to pair Nacho with Raphael Varane at centre-back or even play him at right-back.
