Barcelona signing Sergio Aguero could make his debut against Real Madrid in the El Clasico.
The striker arrived on a free transfer from Manchester City over the summer, but suffered a calf injury before the start of the season with reports suggesting he could be out for 10 weeks.
But the 32-year-old has responded well to treatment and after returning to the gym last month, he is now back on the training pitch looking to hone his skills again.
Mundo Deportivo reports, his impressive recovery means he may now be able to start training with team-mates for the first time in the middle of the October after the international break.
The news will come as a boost for manager Ronald Koeman who has claimed that his side will improve once key attackers including Aguero and Ousmane Dembele return to the fold.
Aguero, though, could make a timely return in time for El Clasico on October 24 at the Nou Camp, where the club will hope to pull themselves back into the title race when they take on current league leaders and bitter rivals Real Madrid.
