The Bafana Bafana left back had been back in South Africa waiting for his visa to be renewed after being sidelined with a hamstring injury. But his agent Paschalis Tountouris of Prosports International says the 26-year-old has now been granted a new visa and he arrived back in Madrid over the weekend.
"He's back in Spain now and I expect him to be back in action in five to 10 days," he tells KickOff.com.
"We can't be sure but his hamstring is getting better all the time and he will be joining in training. It's a relief that he now has the permit and I hope he will be back playing very soon."
Masilela moved to Getafe on a season-long loan from Maccabi Haifa in August after a switch to Sven Goran Eriksson's Leicester City fell through.
He has made four starts for the La Liga outfit but picked up the injury in the 1-0 defeat to Espanyol on September 22.
"I think he's doing very well," says Tountouris.
"He was excellent in the game against Real Madrid and was having a great game against Espanyol until he got the injury.
"La Liga is the best League in the world and he is playing against the best players in the world every week so it is good for his career to be there," he adds.
