The Portuguese duo have both overcome knocks to return to the club's 22-man travelling squad to Dortmund, where Madrid have never won in five encounters.

Pepe has missed the last two games with a fitness issue, while Coentrao has not played a match since returning to the club from his loan deal at Monaco last season following a long-term thigh injury sustained in April.

However, it is still uncertain if either Pepe or Coentrao will make the cut for the 18-man match day squad.
