Real Madrid defender Jose Leon is clear to play for Cultural Leonesa in tonight's Copa del Rey clash.

Leon is on-loan at Cultural Leonesa this season and was blocked from playing the first-leg due to a 'fear' clause, which Real have since waived for tonight.

"I am very happy to play at the Bernabeu. I want to thank Real Madrid for giving me this opportunity because it is a dream that I have had since a child," he said.

Leon played for Zinedine Zidane with Castilla.

"Zidane is a quiet, shy person, but always tells you things to your face. So he earned the respect of the squad. He has managed to capture the imagination of the Real Madrid players."
