Key Real Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder could return to action for the reigning Spanish champions far quicker than expected, according to reports Saturday.
Doctors said Sneijder would be sidelined for at least three months after he picked up a ligament injury in his left knee while playing against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup in early August.
But according to Marca newspaper Saturday the 24-year-old Dutch international has made a rapid recovery and could return to Spanish league action in early October.
Sneijder, formerly of Ajax, scored nine goals and helped in the creation of six others during last season’s triumphant La Liga campaign.
