Real Madrid have a fully fit squad for Sunday’s Primera Division encounter with Deportivo La Coruna at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Left-back Fabio Coentrao is available after completing his four-match ban and may start, while out-of-favour midfielder Kaka could feature after netting a hat-trick against Millonarios in the Santiago Bernabeu trophy on Wednesday.
Deportivo boss Jose Luis Oltra has no fresh injury concerns, with defender Aythami expected to start despite suffering an injury scare in training.
On-loan striker Nelson Oliveira may make his first start for the club in place of Riki, who has been hampered by a nasal fracture.

Despite giving the impression that he is unhappy at Madrid, the Portugal star’s performances on the pitch, which have produced six goals in eight matches, do not seem to have suffered. Madrid will need Ronaldo to play his part in a pivotal week, which sees them travel to Ajax in the Champions League before a Clasico meeting with Barcelona at Camp Nou.
| Nélson Oliveira | |
| Position: | Striker |
| Squad Number: | 25 |

The highly-rated Benfica loanee may finally be handed his first start for Deportivo after putting in some lively performances as a substitute. With two goals already under his belt this season, Oliveira could cause problems for the Madrid backline, which has been susceptible to counter-attacks.
It is hard to see this turning into anything other than a comfortable win for the hosts, who will be determined to grab the three points. Deportivo are not the strongest defensively and for them, it could be a case of damage limitation.
