Beckham left off fixture list: The Englishman will not travel to Tarragona; Ronaldo returns from suspension
A total of 19 players have made the teamsheet for Saturday's match against Nastic in Tarragona. While Beckham will stay in Madrid with a groin strain and a niggled left knee, Ronaldo rejoins his teammates after being suspended for the Barcelona match.
David Beckham is the biggest name left off the list of players who will travel to Tarragona for Satuday's match against Nastic. The English midfielder suffered a strained sartorius muscle of the left thigh during Wednesday's King's Cup match against Écija, preventing him from training with the team during the two sessions prior to tomorrow's game. His specific recovery gym work has forced him to be left off coach Fabio Capello's squad list. He also has a niggled left knee.
Míchel Salgado has also been left off the squad list. The right-back trained at full pace alongside his teammates on Friday, but it is still too soon to include him in the lineup as he has yet to reach optimum form.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo will be available after completing out his one-game suspension against Barça. The Brazilian was in the starting eleven against Ecija and will fall under Capello's orders in Tarragona. Also traveling are Helguera and Ramos, who have made full recoveries from their physical problems earlier in the week.

# Keepers: Casillas, D. López & Casilla.
