Real Madrid will reportedly have midfield trio Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham available for Sunday evening's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao.
Camavinga picked up an ankle problem while representing France against Chile on Tuesday evening, and the midfielder was unable to train alongside his teammates on Thursday.
Meanwhile, neither Valverde nor Bellingham were involved in the main session on Thursday, with the pair instead working in the gymnasium after representing Uruguay and England respectively during the international break.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, all three were able to train on Friday, handing Real Madrid a huge boost ahead of their clash with Athletic.
There had been fears that Camavinga could be facing weeks on the sidelines; the injury is said to have been an impact one rather than a sprain, though, and he is in line to take to the field at Bernabeu.

Camavinga has featured on 32 occasions for Real Madrid this season, providing two assists, and he played 72 minutes of his side's 4-2 win over Osasuna before the international break.
Valverde, meanwhile, has made 41 appearances at club level this term, scoring once and providing eight assists.
Bellingham has only featured in one of Real Madrid's last five league games, as he was absent against Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla through injury, before sitting out the matches with Celta Vigo and Osasuna before the international break due to a suspension.
The 20-year-old has scored 20 goals and registered nine assists in 31 appearances at club level this season, and he will enter the clash with Athletic off the back of scoring for England in his country's 2-2 draw with Belgium on Tuesday night.

How is the rest of the Real Madrid squad shaping up?
Real Madrid will be without the services of Vinicius Junior on Sunday, as the Brazil international is suspended due to the yellow card that he picked up against Osasuna.
Thibaut Courtois has been forced to undergo another knee operation due to a fresh injury, and the goalkeeper is set to miss the rest of the campaign, while David Alaba will not be seen until the 2024-25 campaign, having suffered an ACL injury at the end of last year.
Dani Ceballos picked up a calf problem before the international break, but he has been back in training this week and is set to be available for selection this weekend.
Aside from Camavinga's issue, Real Madrid did not suffer any problems during the international fixtures, and the squad is therefore in good shape ahead of the clash with Athletic.
Ancelotti's side are top of the La Liga table, eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona, while they are preparing to take on Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
