The Spanish giants said that Diarra and Van Nistelrooy trained solely, along with Alvaro Arbeloa, Christoph Metzelder and Guti, who have all been ruled out.

Apart from that, full-back Sergio Ramos is not 100% fit, which could force Manuel Pellegrini to use Raul Albiol as right back.

Real lead Group C with three points, following their 5-2 drubbing of Zurich in the first round.
