“The date is not defined. But we have to take advantage of the break of the national team and then of the mini break of the Copa del Rey. At that time they will do the tasks with the team. After the 14 April, after Majorca, they could be there.

That would mean his return would fall seven games before the end of the league season, and before Barcelona's visit to the Santiago Bernabeu for El Clasico. If Real Madrid go through, they could see action in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in April and beyond.
