I have talked to the coach and told him that I was able to play.'s Been three months I did not play and the El Clasico is an ideal opportunity to return to play," said the Spanish national team player 33-year-old. "However, I still feel discomfort in my hamstring. We'll wait and see how its development. I hope to perform in Msetalla, but not sure what I'll play," he continued.
