The 35-year-old, who last played in the final
of Indian Wells against Taylor Fritz on March 20, suffered a
stress fracture in his rib during the tournament, forcing him to
miss claycourt events in Monte Carlo and Barcelona.
"Despite arriving just before the tournament and preparation
being difficult, I really want to play at home since the
opportunities are few," Nadal wrote on Twitter.
"So I'm going to try to do it in the best way I can. See you in
Madrid."
The former world number's one return to action comes little
under a month before the French Open, where he will be bidding
for a record-extending 14th title. The claycourt major gets
underway on May 22.
