Pepe, Rodriguez return to Real Madrid training

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane could have a pair of extra options to choose from ahead of Sunday's match against Celta Vigo with Pepe and James Rodriguez's return to training.

The pair have been sidelined for the better part of a month after picking up calf knocks, but both managed to take part in Tuesday's training session as Zidane's men gear up to take on a Celta side that eliminated Real from the Copa del Rey last week.

Pepe has yet to appear in a match in 2017 after going down with a calf issue in mid-December, while Rodriguez has been out since Jan. 7.

Real, however, is still without several key contributors as Marcelo, Luka Modric, Dani Carvajal, and Gareth Bale continues their efforts to recover from their respective injuries.
