Barcelona's Mexico defender Rafael Marquez has been passed fit to return to action after four months out with a knee injury picked up in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea last season.
Marquez and Andres Iniesta, who has also returned from a lengthy injury lay-off this week, could make the squad for Barca's trip to Getafe on Saturday. Striker Bojan Krkic is injured.
Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to find his feet at Real Madrid but director general Jorge Valdano said he was unconcerned ahead of the side's trip to face Espanyol on Saturday.
"Possibly he's feeling a little anxious because he's very professional and always wants to be the best, but we'll have to wait a few games to see the real him," Valdano told Spanish state radio.
"Jimenez will get the side back to winning ways and will end the complaints from some fans over the style of play," he told reporters. "All that matters is to win, then to win, and then to win again."
"We'll have to wait until next week but everyone at Zaragoza is sure that the player will be able to join up with the rest of the squad from Wednesday," Zaragoza director general Gerhard Poschner told Radio Zaragoza.
Atletico Madrid will be without injured midfielder Raul Garcia for Racing Santander's visit on Saturday but defender Antonio Lopez has recovered from a muscle strain and is available.
