<span class="az1">Van Nistelrooy returns</span></p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <span class="b">Most of the team's internationals will return tomorrow and Bernd Schuster will be able to start preparing for the match against Murcia. The remaining squad returned to work today at Valdebebas. Van Nistelrooy and Robben did ball work while Heinze jogged around the pitch.</span></p> <span class="par">Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to the squad and did some ball work for the first time since he was mildly injured during the first half of the match between the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The player had to be replaced after the first half and returned to Madrid so as not to risk making the injury any worse. Ruud gave signs of recovery this morning and it seems he may be able to play against Murcia, but this isn't certain yet.</span> <span class="par">Heinze missed the fixture between Argentina and Bolivia because of some pain he felt on his right knee after clashing with Maxi in a training session with his national team. When he returned to Madrid he was diagnosed with a bruise on the knee. He has been working hard since Monday to recover from the injury and make it to the encounter with Murcia. Today he jogged with recovery expert José Luis San Martín.</span> <span class="par">Codina, Dudek and youth system goalkeeper Tomás trained with keeper coach Pedro Jaro while Raúl, Guti, Salgado, Soldado, Van Nistelrooy, Marcelo, Saviola, Higuaín, Torres, Robben, Kristoff, Giráldez and Forlín -the latter three are youth system players- payed special attention to ball movement, ball control and passing. As mentioned above, a great number of internationals is expected to return tomorrow, save Robinho and Baptista who will come back on Friday.</p> </span></div></p>
