Injured Real Madrid stars Robinho, Pepe and Javier Saviola have all returned to training at the club's complex in Valdebebas.

Madrid lost 2-1 away to Roma in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 on Tuesday after taking the lead through legendary striker Raul.

They missed skilful wide midfielder Robinho on the left, although former Chelsea star Arjen Robben played well in his absence and could keep his place on the left.

Gabriel Heinze partnered Fabio Cannavaro in the middle of the back four and was turned by Francesco Totti in midfield in the second half, who promptly fed Mancini to score the winning goal.

However now Pepe looks set to join Robinho in returning in time for the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, allowing Argentine Heinze to either revert to left-back in place of Miguel Torres or drop to the bench.

They could also feature in the match away to Recreativo in 11 days' time, while striker Saviola may be ready this weekend to face coach Bernd Schuster's old club Getafe at home.
