Roberto Carlos has rid himself of his knee problems and will be available for the last game of the season, against Valladolid on Sunday.
The 28-year-old defender pulled out of last weekend's game at Oviedo after being involved in a wayward challenge from striker Oli Alvarez.
However, the Real Madrid idol has rejoined his teammates to train as normal with no signs of any discomfort to his knee.
The sunny Brazilian has an extra reason to be pleased. He has an engagement to attend in the capital on Thursday evening having been voted as having the best smile by Spanish dentists.
Roberto Carlos will be guest of honour at the National Dental Health day to be held at the Ilustre Colegio de los Medicos de Madrid on Thursday.
The player said: "It's tremendous, it fills me with pride to think that I'm one of the best loved people in Spain and this prize means as much to me as any trophy that I've won with Real."
Another piece of news that could bring a smile to Roberto Carlos' face is that newly appointed coach Luis Felipe Scolari looks set to give the Real Madrid ace another chance in the Brazilian selection.
Scolari has picked Roberto Carlos for the World Cup qualifier against Uruguay on July 1.
