Nov 24, 2009 10:46:40 AM
Real Madrid are now top of the Primera Division and will be looking to take the same position in their Champions League group when they face FC Zurich on Wednesday night.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini has now named a 19-man squad for the match, and the big news is that Cristiano Ronaldo is included for the first time in 55 days.
The Portuguese star has been training with his team-mates over the last few days, but it is unlikely that he will feature for more than 30 minutes. Lass Diarra and Sergio Ramos return to the squad, but Guti misses out once again due to the flu.
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Jerzy Dudek.
Defenders: Alvaro Arbeloa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Royston Drenthe, Raul Albiol, Ezequiel Garay.
Midfielders: Mahamadou Diarra, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lass Diarra, Xabi Alonso, Esteban Granero, Rafael van der Vaart.
Forwards: Raul, Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain.
We ask you to leave your choices in the comments box below, using hyphens to separate positions and working from right to left. For instance, here is a side that could line up in a 4-2-2-2 formation:
Casillas - Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Marcelo - Lass, Xabi Alonso - Kaka, Granero - Benzema, Higuain.
Hala Madrid!
