Bale and Jovic return to training after their gastroenteritis

Real Madrid are in the middle of their preparation for the game away to Levante and it looks as if Zinedine Zidane could have the 2 players available.

Both Gareth Bale and Luka Jovic were absent at training on Wednesday due to gastroenteritis, but they returned to training on Thursday with the rest for their teammates.

Both were in tip-top shape and could be in the squad for Saturday's match. There was no one new, although it is worth noting that Marco Asensio and Mariano still aren't training with the group and that Fede Valverde was with the rest of the group after becoming a dad in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

With regards to Asensio, he remains focussed on his rehabilitation to recover from the serious knee injury he suffered in the summer. On the other hand, the ex-Lyon forward has been carrying an injury for a few weeks and continues to be on the sidelines.

Zidane's men face a league match in which they could maintain their advantage over Barcelona, and even increase it, although they will also have one eye on the knockout Champions League match against Manchester City at the Bernabéu.
