Rafael needed a small break after a succesfull periode in Madrid after suffering a calf injury during a game in December, where Real won over Mallorca. But the strong Dutchman is now back in business, as he is training again with the squad.

The Dutchman sustained a problem in his left leg and have been out since the Mallorca game.

He is not sure if he'll be fit to play this weekend's match against Espanyol, but the training will show the next couple of days
