Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos Fit To Face Valencia

Real Madrid began training this morning at Valdebebas with some good news as Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, both of whom had missed training yesterday due to nagging injuries, joined their team-mates for a full session.

Xabi Alonso had been a particular concern for this Saturday's clash with Valencia according to a report broken yesterday by Marca, having been withdrawn during Tuesday's Champions League victory over Marseille.

Those who did not train on Thursday were Christophe Metzelder, Guti, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Kaka, who continue to struggle with more bothersome injuries and none of whom are likely to make the squad list for the face-off against Los Che at La Mestalla.

Cristiano Ronaldo will also miss the match after picking up two yellow cards in last weekend's match against Almeria.
