'Bale, French pair should be fine for Juve'

Real Madrid should have Wales winger Gareth
Bale and France pair Karim Benzema and
Raphael Varane available for Wednesday's
Champions League Group B game at home to
Juventus, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on
Saturday.
Record signing Bale played the final 15
minutes of Saturday's 2-0 La Liga win against
Malaga, winning a late penalty converted by
Cristiano Ronaldo, as he continued his
recovery from a thigh injury.
"He could play some minutes against Juventus
because he has no problem," Ancelotti, a
former coach of the Italian champions, told a
news conference.
Forward Benzema was left out of the squad for
the Malaga game after sustaining a knock to a
calf but Ancelotti said he was hopeful he would
recover in time for Wednesday.
Centre back Varane, who has recently returned
after knee surgery, would definitely be
available, the Italian added.
Real top the group with a maximum six points
from two matches, with Juve in second on two
points ahead of FC Copenhagen and
Galatasaray on one point each.
