Pepe and Robinho back

Pepe and Robinho turned up for the training in Madrid today and it seems that both will be fit enough for the weekend match against Recreativo.

Real Madrid has not won four of their last five matches and mostly because of the unavailability of quality first-team players. Pepe, the portugese centre-back was the savior in the game against Barcelona. Robinho had started scoring goals in the first half of the season and looked really good before he was injured.

Injuries had put the Madrid giants in the back-seat in the champions league clash against Roma as well as the home league match against Getafe. Metzelder, Saviola and Sneijder are still injured. The 23-year old Dutchman had played a pivotal role in Madrid success in the first half of the season.

The weekend match against Recreativo is crucial for Real Madrid as Barcelona is agonizingly close to the top of the table after they thrashed Levante 5-1 at home.

Real Madrid will need to do a fight back and every member of the squad will count then, Robinho and Pepe will have to play important roles to help their team win the league the 30th time
