Karim Benzema has been chosen by coach Jose Mourinho to form part of the 21-man squad that will travel to London for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second-leg against Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old striker picked up a knock while on international duty for France a fortnight ago and missed three subsequent games for his club including the Blancos’ 4-0 win over Spurs in the first leg.<\/p>\n

Youth product Nacho Gonzalez also makes the cut to make up the numbers in defense. The Castilla defender replaces Pepe, who prepares to serve a one-match ban.<\/p>\n

Sami Khedira makes his return to the squad after missing Saturday’s 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao through injury. Fernando Gago, Pedro Leon and Lassana Diarra, meanwhile, are still out of contention due to injury.<\/p>\n

The squad is as follows:<\/p>\n

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Adan, Dudek<\/p>\n

Defenders: Carvalho, Ramos, Marcelo, Albiol, Arbeloa, Garay, Nacho <\/p>\n

Midfielders: Kaka, Granero, Alonso, Canales, Di Maria, Ozil, Khedira<\/p>\n

Forwards: Adebayor, Ronaldo, Higuain, Benzema<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
