Real Madrid Could make it back in time for El Clasico

Sergio Ramos targets Clasico comeback

Nursing a knee injury since October 9, Sergio Ramos was initially ruled out for six weeks, though the Spanish defender could now be back a bit sooner as his efforts towards recovery are being rewarded in recent weeks.

Just two weeks since his injury, it is expected that Ramos will be back two weeks earlier than once thought, as he'll miss the next five matches and will be finishing his recovery during the upcoming international break.

Right after that lull in club action, Los Blancos will face Atletico Madrid in the derby on November 19, and Ramos is working hard to make it back in time.

That match is within the realms of possibility without forcing the issue for the centre-back, as the treatment received and regimen being followed is highlighting the player's excellent overall fitness.
