Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has resumed first team training after recovering from injury.
The 27-year-old World Cup winner had been sidelined since early September with a thigh strain that turned into a point of contention between Los Blancos and the German Football Association.
When Khedira reported for international duty for the round of matches last month, the German FA said he had been injured while playing for Madrid. The 10-time European Cup winners claimed he picked up the injury on duty for his country.
Having picked up the thigh problem, Khedira opted to have surgery on his left knee, ruling out of action for the last six weeks. The midfielder missed most of last season with a serious knee injury picked up while playing for Germany but recovered to take his place in the Champions League final where he picked up a winners medal.
Khedira has been subject of intense transfer speculation over the past few months and is now into his last eight months on his current deal. Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea are believed to be keen on signing the defensive midfielder.
The former Stuttgart player signed for Los Blancos in 2010 following the World Cup in South Africa.
