Cannavaro A Doubt For Deportivo La Coruña Showdown

Real Madrid look as though they could be without Fabio Cannavaro for their match with Deportivo La Coruña this weekend.

Marca reports that the Italian defender did not train on Monday, and even though he returned on Wednesday, he is a doubt for the match on Sunday.

Whilst the rest of the side trained outdoors in wet and windy conditions, Cannavaro worked inside, in a bid to recover for the match.

It is not yet known what injury he has, but if he does miss the Depor match, he is likely to be fully fit for the next week.

Aside from Cannavaro, Guti, Jerzy Dudek and Dani Parejo did not train due to injuries, and they all joined the Italian inside.

Coach Juande Ramos has been hoping to play the same side that beat Osasuna last weekend, but with the Italian defender a doubt, he may have to change things around.

Real Madrid will be aiming to win their fifth successive match in La Liga, and having been beaten by Deportivo on the opening day of the season, they will want revenge.

Rather than play at 17.00 on a Sunday, as they have done in recent weeks, the defending champions are the last team to play this weekend, as they kick-off at 21.00 in the Bernabéu.
