Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mahamadou Diarra could soon be match-fit for Real Madrid.

Both players had season-ending knee surgeries last season but they are set to add to an already star-studded squad.

The duo are expected to finally rejoin the rest of the group once Los Blancos return from their North American tour, where they are scheduled to face Toronto FC and DC United.

AS has reported that the club's medical services assessed the pair's condition last Sunday and they passed the test without any complications.

Both Van Nistelrooy and Diarra have so far only been able to focus on field work, gym exercises and ball training, but with their recovery close to completion, they will soon be able to undergo intense work-outs with the rest of the squad.

However, it remains highly possible that neither player will feature for Real next season, as the ‘Casa Blanca' are looking to offload them to trim down their squad.

Diarra has reportedly attracted attention from Italy and van Nistelrooy has been linked with a move back to the Premier League, but neither are expected to receive any concrete offers until they can prove that they are fully fit.
