Fabio Capello will take all available players to Villarreal. With Raúl, Roberto Carlos, Beckham, Emerson, Marcelo, and Cicinho all listed on the medical report, the Italian boss is once again relying on the services of youth teamers Torres, Nieto, and De la Red. Guti will stay in Madrid despite having recovered from his sprained ankle.
Fabio Capello will take 19 pllayers to Villarreal for Saturday's match, 14 from the first team and four youth teamers -Nieto, Torres, De la Red, and Casilla- who continue providing positive results and have become regulars at training. The medical report helped the Madridista manager chalk up the final list of men who will travel to the province of Valencia. The five players still out due to injuries are Raúl, Roberto Carlos, Emerson, Marcelo, and Beckham. Then there's Cicinho who has been out since September. Meanwhile, Guti has recovered from his right ankle sprain, but will stay in the Spanish capital, mostly likely to avoid any relapse.
The name that comes to the forefront is that of David Beckham. The Englishman had returned to training on Thursday after getting over a strained quadriceps, but did not participate in today's workout while suffering from a niggled left knee. The official diagnosis is tendonosis, and for that reason Capello was not able to include Beckham on the squad list. Cassano and Ronaldo will also stay behind due to a coaching decision.
VILLARREAL-REAL MADRID SQUAD LIST:
- Goalkeepers: Casillas, Diego López and Casilla.
- Defenders: Míchel Salgado, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Raúl Bravo, Helguera, Pavón, Mejía, Torres.
