Real Madrid was struck with bad luck on Friday when Fabio Cannavaro abandoned the training session with a strained adductor muscle, thus keeping the Italian out of Saturday's match against Recreativo. Pepe and Metzelder, however, are fit for action, and Alberto Bueno has made the squad list yet again.

vs. Recreatevo
Pepe and Metzelder have returned to our squad whereas Canna isn't able to play.
