Arjen Robben is in Real Madrid's squad to face Racing Santander this weekend, even though he has not trained for most of the week.
The Dutch winger has been suffering from the flu, and had not left his house to train until Thursday, when he did some work at the gym.
It was only today that he returned to train with the rest of his team-mates, and Juande Ramos has decided to include him in the squad.
Marca reports that along with Robben, the coach has also selected Pepe, who has been struggling with injury this week.
The main news, aside from the presence of Robben, is the fact the Julien Faubert is in line to make his first Real Madrid start.
Faubert joined the Spanish club last weekend on loan from West Ham, and has only trained with the team four times this week.
However, Ramos has selected him in the squad and, with Fernando Gago suspended, Guti injured and Royston Drenthe not included, Faubert could even start.
Real Madrid take on Racing Santander in the first game of the weekend in La Primera this weekend, as they kick off at 20:00 CET in the Bernabeu on Saturday evening.
