Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti believes injured
midfielder Sami Khedira will play again before the end of the season.
Khedira has been out of action since tearing his anterior
cruciate ligament while on international duty with Germany last November, an
injury that placed the 27-year-old's hopes of featuring at this year's FIFA
World Cup in severe doubt.
However, the former Stuttgart man began training again
last week, and Ancelotti is confident that he could make a return to action
before the end of the club campaign.
"Khedira is training very well, has recovered
well," Ancelotti said ahead of Real's UEFA Champions League semi-final
first leg with Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
"I feel that he will play again before the end of
the (club) season."
Khedira has won 44 caps for Germany and will hope to
convince Germany coach Joachim Low to call him up for the World Cup despite his
prolonged spell on the sidelines.
Germany start their quest for a fourth World Cup win on
June 16 against Portugal, before then taking on Ghana and United States in
Group G.
