Karim Benzema took part in Real Madrid's training session on Monday as he stepped up his recovery from a thigh injury.
Benzema, who missed Sunday's 0-0 draw with Sporting Gijon, worked with the rest of his teammates during the first part of the session.

Madrid said on their official website: "Real Madrid completed a recovery session five days ahead of their La Liga game against Betis.
"Benzema worked with the group during the first part of the training session when the players who started against Sporting trained at a lower intensity level.
"Four of them, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo, Danilo and Keylor Navas, carried out running drills on the pitch. [Fabio] Coentrao is continuing with his recovery."
Marca reports that the France striker is set to be available for Saturday's meeting with Real Betis if he does not suffer any setbacks this week.
