Robben: ready for Real start

Arjen Robben has insisted that he is now ready to start for Real Madrid for the first time since his summer move from Chelsea. The Dutchman made a cameo second-half appearance last night in the 2-0 defeat of Zaragoza.

"This is my third game for Madrid and I am pleased for that reason. I have played half an hour and I now feel ready to start. I hope that soon I can play from the beginning because I am working hard to do so," said the former Chelsea winger.
