Jude Bellingham will reportedly be available for Real Madrid's La Liga contest with Cadiz on Sunday.
The 20-year-old has missed his side's last two matches against Braga and Valencia due to the shoulder injury that he picked up in the clash with Rayo Vallecano on November 5.
The issue forced Bellingham to withdraw from the England squad during the international break, and there had been fears that he would also be unavailable against Cadiz.
However, according to Carrusel Deportivo, Bellingham was able to complete a training session with Real Madrid on Thursday, and he is set to be in the squad for this weekend's contest.
The report claims that the midfielder was given the green light to resume full-contact training earlier this week, and he will feature against Cadiz unless there are any further issues in the build-up to the match.

Bellingham has been in outstanding form for Real Madrid during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 13 goals and registering three assists in 14 appearances in all competitions.
The Englishman has managed three goals in three Champions League appearances, while he has hit the back of the net on 10 occasions in his first 11 outings in La Liga.
Bellingham's expected return will be a huge boost for a Real Madrid side that are currently missing a host of important players due to fitness issues.
Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao remain long-term absentees due to serious knee injuries, with the pair missing since August, while Arda Guler is yet to make his debut for the club, having suffered three separate issues since his arrival from Fenerbahce over the summer.

Aurelien Tchouameni is also on the sidelines with a broken foot, while Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Junior both picked up serious injuries during the international break.
Camavinga will be out until the middle of January due to a knee ligament problem that he suffered in a training session with France, while Vinicius picked up a thigh issue while representing Brazil against Colombia, and he faces a battle to be back before the end of the month.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is nearing a return from a thigh problem of his own, but this weekend's clash is expected to come too soon for the on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper.
However, Dani Ceballos is set to train ahead of the match and could be available for selection following a recent muscular issue.
Real Madrid thumped Valencia 5-1 in their last game before the international break, and Carlo Ancelotti's side currently sit second in the La Liga table, two points behind leaders Girona.
