Real Madrid coach Capello welcomes back senior stars

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello is happy to welcome back three of his senior players for today's clash with Osasuna.
 
Roberto Carlos and Jose Antonio Reyes were both included in a 20-man squad for the clash at the Bernabeu, while Italian World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro returned following suspension.

David Beckham was able to train with his team-mates on Saturday for the first time since suffering a knee injury against Getafe at the start of last month, but he will have to wait for a return to first-team action.

"He (Beckham) is not ready. He trained today for the first time but he did not finish the session," said Capello.

Madrid beat Osasuna 4-1 in Pamplona earlier this season, with Ruud van Nistelrooy netting all four goals, but Capello is anticipating a tough match against Jose Angel Ziganda's side on Sunday.

"I have seen three games involving Osasuna," the Italian said.

"They defend very well and it is difficult to score goals against them, and their counter-attacking is of great quality. We have to be very concentrated for the whole game."
