Gonzalo Higuaín, Arjen Robben, Fabio Cannavaro and Christoph Metzelder Ready For Comeback
Bernd Schuster might be a man under pressure at the moment but he received some good news today as a host of previously injured players returned to the squad for the key clash with Sevilla this weekend.
Marca reports that Gonzalo Higuaín, Arjen Robben, Fabio Cannavaro and Christoph Metzelder have all shaken off knocks to be fit for the match and all are likely to start, bar the latter.
The German has not been trusted by Schuster this season much and it is unlikely that he will play a part against Sevilla, with Cannavaro back in the centre of defence.
Along with the four returning players it was also confirmed that Marcelo will be in the squad, despite not being 100% after having a flu. The Brazilian was suspected to miss the match but he could now play, depending how he is on matchday.
The news will be a blessing for the coach of Madrid as Los Blancos prepare for a tricky month, when they face Valencia, Barcelona, Zenit St. Petersburg, and first Sevilla.
The other news regarding the squad is that young winger, Chema Antón, is included, which is interesting after a week when the Real Madrid youth system came under some criticism.
