Takefusa Kubo hopes to return to training with Real Mallorca in the coming weeks.

The Japan international, 20, is on-loan at Mallorca from Real Madrid and suffered a knee injury in September in action at the Santiago Bernabeu.

AS says Real Madrid have insisted he do his recovery at their medical centre.

Indeed, there's a belief amongst management that Kubo is a first team prospect for the future at Real Madrid.

The midfielder could be back action for Mallorca before Christmas.
