Real's Zidane fit to face Valencia


Story Tools

MADRID, Spain -- Zinedine Zidane is fit for second-placed Real Madrid's trip to third-placed Valencia on Saturday.

The French playmaker pulled up in training on Thursday with a thigh problem, but Real said on their Web site on Friday that he had passed a fitness test and would be included in Carlos Quieroz's squad.

But Real will be without striker Raul, who has a bruised hip, and defender Ivan Helguera.

"A clash between Real and Valencia is as big as it gets in terms of rivalry," Real defender Francisco Pavon said.

"We'll expect them to give it everything out there. We're used to hostile atmospheres but it's going to be difficult."
