Real Madrid are expecting David Alaba to be fit for their Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk on October 19 despite the Austrian returning from international duty with a knee issue.
There were initial fears that, as well as missing the European fixture, Alaba's participation in the Liga Clasico with Barcelona may be under threat.
The versatile defender made two outings for his country during the latest international break, taking in 180 minutes of game time in World Cup qualifying ties with Faroe Islands and Denmark.
Alaba, who joined Madrid as a free agent over the summer after reaching the end of his contract at Bayern Munich, is understood to have picked up a knee problem.
Medical examinations took place in Madrid on Thursday, however, and it is thought that the issue is not serious.
