The Madrid derby just a day away, a lot of the pre-match discussion has surrounded Karim Benzema's fitness, but it appears the French striker will be ready in time as he has already completed two training sessions since marking his return from injury. Keylor Navas also rejoined the rest of the squad and could be ready to go by Saturday night's decisive encounter. Casemiro and Pepe continued to work on their own, whereas Alvaro Morata and Toni Kroos won't take part as they continue to recover from their respective injuries. Cristiano Ronaldo could play as the central striker if Benzema can only be used as a substitute, though a different system altogether can't be ruled out entirely either.Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema have returned to this week's training session ahead of the all-important Madrid derby for Zinedine Zidane, though other injuries still persist. Pepe, Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Alvaro Morata will all miss out due to recent injuries, so Zidane will have to reshuffle his line-up to get the best out of his squad. As such, the French boss will be bringing 20 players to the Estadio Vicente Calderon, as listed below.
Real Madrid squad against Atletico:
Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Casilla and Rubén Yáñez.
Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Coentrão and Danilo.
Midfielders: James, Kovacic, Modric, Asensio and Isco.
Strikers: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Lucas Vázquez and Mariano.
