Intro:

Real Madrid playmaker James Rodríguez trains in Marrakech, Morocco, before Saturday's Club World Cup final against either San Lorenzo or Auckland City. The Colombian missed the semi-final defeat of Cruz Azul with a right calf injury.

Script:

Real Madrid trained in Marrakech, Morocco, on Wednesday before The Merengues hope to taste victory in the Club World Cup final.

Iker Casillas was preferred to Keylor Navas in goal and the captain saved a penalty in their 4-0 semi-final victory against Mexican side Cruz Azul.

Whilst the Club World Cup is the pinnacle of any South American sides' season, it is the nadir of European Clubs' campaigns. So perhaps it's fitting that Colombian star James Rodríguez is set to return to the Real starting line-up after a right calf injury ruled the 23-year-old out of the last four clash.

Lying in wait for Saturday's showpiece at Le Grand Stade de Marrakech will be the winner of San Lorenzo versus New Zealand part-timers Auckland City.

The Argentine Copa Libertadores champions count Hollywood actor Viggo Mortensen -- better known as Aragorn from the The Lord of the Rings films -- as a fan. They'll hope to emerge from their battle with the tournament's dark horses unscathed.
