Right-back Alvaro Arbeloa also returns after a hamstring injury forced him to miss the Premier League victory over Sunderland a week ago. Goalscorer in Madrid Yossi Benayoun (hamstring) and winger Albert Riera (suspended) are both missing with Steven Gerrard and Ryan Babel the two changes from the first leg.
