Real Madrid's Raul Albiol Added To Squad List And Could Start

Spanish international Raul Albiol has been included in coach Manuel Pellegrini's squad list and could start in tomorrow's match as Real Madrid take on Zaragoza at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Albiol worried the Madrid technical staff after going down in training yesterday with a shoulder injury, but all signs seem to point to the Spaniard making a full recovery in time for tomorrow's match. With Albiol in the squad, it is expected that Ezequiel Garay and the former Valencia man will form the central defensive partnership.

Christoph Metzelder's return to the squad also took some pressure off the back line, which has become a point of concern lately, especially with Pepe's season-ending injury. Guti, Kaka, and Van Nistelrooy continue to be out, nursing their respective injuries while Xabi Alonso will miss tomorrow's match, as he serves a suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards.

The entire squad list is as follows: Casillas, Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Gago, Diarra, Raul, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lass, Benzema, Marcelo, Dudek, Drenthe, Albiol, Garay, Higuain, Metzelder, Van der Vaart and Granero.
