‘Bale-Benzema fit for Juventus’

By Football Italia staff

Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale will both be fit to face Juventus with Real Madrid, according to Coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Both attackers have been sidelined with injury recently, but in a Press conference ahead of tomorrow’s match with Almeria, the former Bianconeri Coach said both would be fit for the Champions League semi-final on May 5.

“Bale will return against Sevilla [on May 2], Benzema on the Sunday [May 3],” Ancelotti revealed.

“It’s a time of the season when all the games are life and death for every team.

“We have to prepare this match [against Almeria] bearing in mind that it comes before a very difficult and very demanding run of games.

“We have a tough calendar, the matches are very, very difficult. But we have confidence we can play well because the team is in good shape, it’s fresh and can compete in all the games.

“We are not thinking about whether Barça will slip up, we just have to focus on the matches we have.”
