Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic: Could return early

Kovacic has taken part in training Monday and could still feature Sunday against Sevilla, Marca reports.

Analysis:

Kovacic took some part in Monday's training as part of his rehab process and could return to play earlier than expected. The midfielder is surely ruled out for the Copa del Rey midweek tie but could still feature in Sunday's La Liga action with enough progress during the week.
