Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has resumed squad training after a brief spell on the sidelines due to a thigh injury.

Real Madrid have received some encouraging news ahead of this weekend's La Liga encounter with Celta Vigo as Karim Benzema has resumed squad training.

The France striker sustained a thigh injury while away on international duty earlier this month and has since been out of action.

Benzema missed the 3-0 league win over Levante due to the knock and was also forced to sit out the scoreless Champions League draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Nevertheless, the 27-year-old could return to the squad for Saturday's encounter with Celta.

Benzema has been a key figure for Madrid this season, netting seven goals in eight appearances in all competitions.
