MADRID, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and
central defender Pepe have recovered from injury and are
available for Real Madrid's Champions League Group H match
against Juventus on Wednesday.
"We can call on them tomorrow," coach Bernd Schuster told a
news conference on Tuesday.
"Ruud is feeling in really good shape and has no pain,"
Schuster said.
"But we are still not completely sure how we will do things.
It will be a very hard match from the start so we don't know yet
if he'll start or come on during the match."
The Dutchman injured his right knee against Juve in last
month's 2-1 defeat in Turin and missed Sunday's 1-1 Primera Liga
draw at Almeria.
Pepe suffered a knock on the thigh in Almeria and was
substituted in the second half as a precaution.
