Real Madrid strikers Karim Benzema and Ruud van Nistelrooy are set to return from respective injuries against Alcorcon in the Spanish cup on Tuesday. France forward Benzema has been struggling with a foot injury, while veteran Dutchman Van Nistelrroy missed recent action due to a thigh strain. Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain remain sidelined though as Real are set to name a second-string side against the third-division team. Coach Manuel Pellegrini opted to rest the likes of Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso and Kaka.
