PORTIMAO, Portugal — Multi-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez has been cleared to return to competition in time for next week’s Grand Prix of Portugal.

The Repsol Honda rider has been out of action since breaking his arm in last year’s July season opener at Jerez.

The team confirmed his return on Saturday: “In the review carried out on Marc Marquez by the Hospital Ruber Internacional medical team, four months after surgery, led by Doctors Samuel Antuña and Ignacio Roger de Oña, and made up of Doctors De Miguel, Ibarzabal and García Villanueva, for an infected pseudoarthrosis of the right humerus, a very satisfactory clinical condition was found, with evident progress in the bone consolidation process. In the current situation, Marquez can return to competition, assuming the reasonable risk implicit in his sporting activity.”
