Real Madrid playmaker Kaka moved a step closer to making his comeback from injury after returning to training yesterday.

The Brazil international, a £56m signing from Milan in the summer of 2009, has not played for Real yet this season after undergoing a meniscus operation in August but he trained alongside his team-mates for the first time since the surgery yesterday.

Fernando Gago, who has not played for Madrid this season either due to a knee problem, also took part in training, as did Sergio Ramos, who had been expected to be absent until 2011 after spraining a ligament in his right knee.

Ramos was subsequently included in Jose Mourinho’s 20-man squad for the visit of the Spain international’s former club Sevilla today.
