Madrid welcome back duo

Defenders Pepe and Fabio Coentrao have returned to Real Madrid’s squad for their Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund.

The Portuguese duo have both overcome knocks to return to the club's 22-man travelling squad to Dortmund, where Madrid have never won in five encounters.

Pepe has missed the last two games with a fitness issue, while Coentrao has not played a match since returning to the club from his loan deal at Monaco last season following a long-term thigh injury sustained in April.

However, it is still uncertain if either Pepe or Coentrao will make the cut for the 18-man match day squad.

Brazilian pair Marcelo and Casemiro are both missing for the match in Germany due to injuries.

Real Madrid squad: Navas, Casilla, Yanez, Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Coentrao, Danilo, Kroos, James, Kovacic, Modric, Ascencio, Isco, Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Vazquez, Mariano, Morata
