UEFA Champions League Groups F and HReal Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz should be able to field the same side that enjoyed a stylish 2-0 win over Celta Vigo in La Liga at the weekend for their Group F clash with Partizan Belgrade at the Bernabeu tonight.
That will see David Beckham partnering Ivan Helguera in the centre of midfield, with Luis Figo taking the right wing berth and Zinedine Zidane the left.
Partizan coach Lothar Matthaeus has three defenders doubtful: Milivoje Cirkovic and Branimir Bajic are struggling with injuries sustained in the Serbia and Montenegro league, while Nigerian international Taribo West has been complaining of stomach problems.
In the group's other game, Marseille's Brazilian forward Fernandao is out with an ankle injury, while Porto defender Ricardo Carvalho is doubtful after spraining his right knee in a weekend league match. Pedro Emanuel is ready to step in.
In Group H, champions AC Milan will be without the tireless running of midfielder Gennaro Gattuso who is serving the second game of a two-match ban after being red-carded during Milan's opening match against Ajax. He is likely to be replaced on the right by Cristian Brocchi.
Brazilian world champion Rivaldo is recovering from influenza and makes way for Rui Costa in the playmaker's position behind Filippo Inzaghi and Andriy Shevchenko.
