Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic: Returns from injury

Kovacic (ankle) started and played 45 minutes in Saturday's World Cup qualifier versus Iceland.

Analysis:

Kovacic played well and left the game seemingly unscathed. The Real Madrid starlet should be a full go for next Saturday's Madrid derby. The midfielder has been a key cog this season in eight starts with the Whites, though, with no goals or assists yet he's not much of a fantasy force.
