Beckham and Pavon in Real squad to face Lyon

England midfielder David Beckham and defender Francisco Pavon are included in Real Madrid's 20-man squad to face Olympique Lyon away in their opening game of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Both players were substituted due to injury during Saturday's 3-2 home defeat to Celta Vigo and missed training on Sunday, though their injuries are not considered serious. Beckham suffered a bruise to his thigh, while Pavon, whose withdrawal gave new signing Sergio Ramos his Real debut, was treated for a sore toe.

Club captain Raul, who is suffering from back pain and only came on in the second half on Saturday, is also included.

With France midfielder Zinedine Zidane injured and Brazilian striker Ronaldo suspended coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo has called up youth team midfielder Ruben de la Red and striker Roberto Soldado as cover.
