MADRID (AP) - Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema looks set to be available for the Spanish leader’s match against Barcelona on Sunday.
The France forward missed Tuesday’s 3-1 Champions League victory over Schalke because of a right leg problem, but he has appeared to have recovered after training normally with the squad on Saturday.
Benzema has contributed 21 goals in 38 appearances for Madrid, which is four points up on third-place Barcelona heading into a “clasico” matchup with potential to play an important factor in the title race with second-place Atletico Madrid three points behind Real.
