Late Robinho, Baptista charged

Real Madrid have opened disciplinary charges against Robinho and Julio Baptista after their late return from international duty with Brazil last week.

Robinho and Baptista missed training on Friday and were omitted from Madrid's 2-1 loss at Espanyol in the Spanish league the following day.

"The board is very keen to hasten this process and will decide on the case soon," said Madrid in a statement on their website.

The players are each likely to be fined between 3,000 euro ($A4,806) and 4,000 euro ($A6,408), said sports daily Marca.

Robinho was reported to have celebrated into Thursday morning after Brazil's 5-0 win over Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier in Rio de Janeiro.

Madrid coach Bernd Schuster recalled both players to his squad for Madrid's Champions League match against Olympiakos on Thursday (AEST) and said Robinho was ready for the starting line-up.

"It's my job to talk to them. And we have talked. We will try and manage these things better and help in planning trips," said Schuster.
