Real Madrid Vs Deportivo La Coruña - La Liga | 25/01/2009 - 21:00 CET | Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid take on Deportivo La Coruña tomorrow night at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid. 

Juande Ramos has announced his squad list which excludes Marcelo and Saviola (who is unhappy at the club -- and he has the right to be) as well as the injured folks (Ruud, Diarra and De La Red). 

However, both of Drenthe and Torres return to the squad.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Codina

Defenders: Salgado, Pepe, Ramos, Cannavaro, Heinze, Torres, Metzelder

Midfielders: Lass, Gago, Sneijder, Robben, Drenthe, Van der Vaart, Javi García

Forwards: Raúl, Huntelaar, Higuaín

Lineup

Fabio, although included in the list, is still doutbtful for the clash. He may play and he may not. Regardless of that, I think Juande will pretty much stick to the lineup he has used in the last few matches.

Casillas

Ramos   Cannavaro/Metz   Pepe   Heinze

                Gago  ----- Lass

Robben                      Sneijder

        Higuain ---- Rau'l

Real Madrid have failed to win their first match in La Liga as they were outplayed by Deportivo La Coruna who scored two goals which meant that Nistelrooy's only goal was not enough.

Schuster started with Casillas in goal, Ramos, Pepe, Heinze and Marcelo in defense. Guti, Diarra, Robben and Higuain in midfield. And as usual, Schuster also started with Ruud and Rau'l upfront. 

Real Madrid had most of ball possession but they failed to be effective in front of goal. Rau'l had a poor performance so did...

During the last 17 years, Los Blancos have never beaten Deportivo La Coruna at the their stadium. Bad luck? Tough opponent? It is just true, but this time, Bernd Schuster and his men are looking to break the spell and snatch the first three points.

With three Dutch players out of action (Sneijder injured, Van Nistelrooy and Van Der Vaart suspended) Schuster needs to find his best lineup something which is not easy, however, the return of Fabio Cannavaro after his three-month injury is certainly a good thing for the team and for the German coach.

Robinho is...
