| Keylor Navas |
an achilles injury ruined his summer and preparations for the new season with Real Madrid, but Keylor Navas is recovering and could be fully fit by September.
Missing out on the Copa America with Costa Rica was a huge blow, and the goalkeeper is now playing catch up on his clubmates, with LaLiga kicking off on August 19.
Travelling to the Estadio Anoeta to face Real Sociedad two days later, Los Blancos will play number two goalkeeper Kiko Casilla, who has impressed in pre-season.
Key to Navas' quick revival in recent weeks has been down to the impact of new fitness coach Antonio Pintus, who has arrived from Lyon to strengthen the physical condition of the squad.
Although the custodian is a vital member of the Real squad, coach Zinedine Zidane is keen to hold back any players who are not ready, a list that also includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos, who all played until the latter stages at Euro 2016.
