Report: James Rodriguez recovered from thigh injury, available for El Derbi Madrileno

James Rodriguez is reportedly ready to take the pitch once again.

The Colombian phenom has finally recovered from a thigh injury suffered on international duty and will be available Sunday when Real Madrid renews its eternal rivalry with Atletico Madrid in El Derbi Madrileno, Marca reports.

Whether or not he plays will likely depend on whether manager Rafa Benitez has Gareth Bale at his disposal.

Rodriguez suffered a torn thigh muscle in a friendly between Colombia and Peru in early September. It was initially reported that he was expected to be out for about two weeks, but Sunday's derby will mark three-and-a-half weeks since he sustained the problem.

Despite the club's seemingly unparalleled depth, injuries have hindered Real Madrid's start to the season as a number of the club's most notable players have gone down with one issue or another.
