Jose Mourinho has a few injury concerns going into the second leg of this Copa del Rey encounter against Malaga. Pepe missed the match against Granada at the weekend but Sergio Ramos is back to full fitness after missing the first leg and should be partnered by Raul Albiol.
Lassana Diarra should come in to the right-back position with Sami Khedira partnering Xabi Alonso in midfield. Angel Di Maria and Ricardo Carvalho are injured and there are some doubts over the fitness of Alvaro Arbeloa and Fabio Coentrao, who missed the win over Granada.
Elsewhere, in-form striker Karim Benzema looks set to overcome a minor injury picked up against Granada at the weekend and is likely to start on Tuesday.

Joaquin is out of contention as the winger has been ruled out for a month with a strained muscle. Julio Baptista will also miss the match for Malaga.

The set-piece delivery of the former Villarreal man was a true danger to Real Madrid in the first leg and this calibre of crossing will be needed again if Malaga are to have any success in the second leg. Cazorla will need to get on the ball a lot more and create from midfield as his influence in the match waned as the game progressed.
| Cristiano Ronaldo | |
| Position: | Striker |

Cristiano Ronaldo is always Madrid's most potent attacking weapon and his pace and shooting ability should cause Malaga a lot of problems. When Ronaldo successfully links up with Benzema and the rest of the Madrid front line, they usually cause damage to opponents. Demichelis and Mathijsen will need to be on song in order to keep the Portuguese quiet.
The first leg proved that when Real Madrid are not on song, they can be hurt. Malaga were outstanding in the first half and got at the capital club through intense pressing. However, the rally of Jose Mourinho's side in the second half shows their true quality and determination, which eventually earned them the win. Expect a tight game but with Real Madrid ultimately progressing in the end.
