LISBON, Portugal -- Cristiano Ronaldo seems certain to be fit to lead Real Madrids attack against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. However, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti has lingering fitness doubts about Ronaldos strike partner Karim Benzema and defender Pepe. "Cristiano doesnt have any problems, he has trained well," Ancelotti said Friday about the competitions 16-goal record scorer, who missed Madrids final league match last weekend to rest a leg muscle injury. Benzema and Pepe have not trained this week due to hamstring and calf injuries, respectively. Ancelotti said the teams practice session Friday evening on the Stadium of Light pitch "will be crucial to decide" if they can start. Madrids vaunted forward line -- the so-called BBC of Gareth Bale, Benzema and Cristiano -- have combined to score 26 goals in this Champions League season, plus 63 in La Liga. Benzema has thrived playing between the two speedy wingers, though Ancelotti played down the significance of the France forward, or any one player in a city derby between teams which have met four times already this season. "Benzema has had a great season and I dont know that we are losing him," the coach said, adding "we will use another player who has similar characteristics." "This is not going to be a match where individuals count so much as the two teams," Ancelotti said. Atletico has injury concerns about its own star forward, Brazilian-born Spain international Diego Costa, who had a horse placenta treatment on his right thigh this week. Real defender Sergio Ramos said he hoped all the best players lined up Saturday. "If Diego Costa is there or (Arda) Turan or any other, well, thats no problem as far as I am concerned," the Spain defender said. "What concerns me is Karim, Pepe, Cris who have been injured in these past few days." For Real, attacking midfielder Isco could be asked to replace Benzema, whose France teammate Raphael Varane is a likely deputy for Pepe. Ancelotti is deprived of holding midfielder Xabi Alonso who is suspended, and Germanys Sami Khedira could start just two weeks after returning from a six-month absence due to a knee injury. Patrick Roy Jersey . After a tight first half, the Croatians took command in Reykjavik after Skulason was dismissed for a professional foul in the 51st minute, but couldnt find a way past Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson and his packed defence. Eduardo had a weak shot cleared away from near the goalline after barely a minute for Croatia, whose substitute Ivica Olic forced a fine reaction save from Halldorsson in the 55th.

"It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night," Shields said after pitching Kansas City past the San Diego Padres 8-0 Wednesday.PHILADELPHIA - Running back LeSean McCoy has regained his 2013 form.All is well with the Eagles offence, coming off a 33-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys which moved the Eagles into sole possession of first place in the NFC East.And the offensive line is a big reason for the improvement.After using seven different combinations, due to suspension, injury and poor play through the first 10 games, it appears the Eagles have settled on their five linemen for the rest of the season.Jason Peters, the only player to start all 12 games, is the left tackle. Evan Mathis, who missed seven games with a knee injury, is the left guard.Jason Kelce, who missed four games with a sports hernia, is the centre. Andrew Gardner, who played two games early at right tackle, is the fourth, and the Eagles hope final, right guard. And Lane Johnson, who was suspended the first four games for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substance, is the right tackle.I just think theres a continuity, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said Monday. The same guys are playing next to the same guys and communication has been better. As a group, theyve gotten the chance to line up next to each other for a few weeks and thats one of the reasons and also, Jason (Kelce) is healthier and Evan (Mathis) is healthier, so that helps.From the start of the season when Johnson was suspended, the Eagles have never been able to put their five preferred linemen on the field.That would have been Peters, Mathis, Kelce, Todd Herremans and Johnson.Not only that, but even the backups got hurt.Allen Barbre, the teams sixth man went down in the season opener, as he filled in for Johnson at right tackle, with a season-ending broken ankle.Thats the same game MMathis injured his knee.ddddddddddddWeve been through a lot of changes, Peters said. Guys up, guys down, its not easy. But the other guys played hard and we won games. Now, were getting most everyone back and theres that sense of continuity again.In 2013, Kellys first year as head coach, he had all five linemen start all 16 games and the playoff game against New Orleans.This year hes used seven different combinations and 10 different linemen, with Gardner, Herremans, Dennis Kelly and Matt Tobin all playing two different positions.Now, as the team reaches its stretch drive to repeat as division champions and advance in the playoffs, the line is starting to get that feel back.I feel pre-injury healthy, Mathis said after the win over Dallas. My conditioning is up to par. ... I think were just getting better and better at hitting the blocks, playing as a team more so and more so every week. Were blocking better up front as five offensive linemen, with the tight ends, the wide receivers and the backs are hitting the holes. Were just trying to grow each week as a team.NOTES: Kelly confirmed Monday that quarterback Nick Foles had a CT scan on his broken left collarbone. It is healing as expected, but he was not cleared to return because the bone is not fully healed. Kelly did not know when Foles would get checked again. ... Kelly also brushed off an on-field argument between quarterback Mark Sanchez and wide receiver Riley Cooper. They were talking about what they were going to have for Thanksgiving dinner, Kelly said. Really, its no big deal. Guys argue all the time during a game. You should put on my headset.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
