Coach Bernd Schuster has reinstated defender Fabio Cannavaro to Real Madrid squad that will take on Zenit St. Petersburg in Tuesday's Champions League fixture.

The 36-year old defender was banned from last Saturday's clash against Real Betis 2-1 and was left at Madrid to rest.

Meanwhile Schuster have decided to exclude German defender Christoph Metzelder to give him a break.

The Merengues will also be without injured Fernando Gago, Guti and Wesley Sneijder.

Real Madrid are leading the group H after beating BATE 2-0 in their opening game.
