Keylor Navas and Gareth Bale are still sidelined

Defender Dani Carvajal has recovered from an injury and has been included in the Real Madrid squad for Saturday's derby against Atletico at the Wanda Metropolitano. 

However, Zinedine Zidane is still without Keylor Navas, Gareth Bale and Mateo Kovacic, while Achraf, Jesus Vallejo and Marcos Llorente have not made the squad. 

Croatian midfielder Kovacic is back in training but Zidane has decided not to rush him back for the derby. 

The squad is: Kiko Casilla, Moha, Dani Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo, Theo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Dani Ceballos, Isco, Marco Asensio, Lucas Vázquez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Borja Mayoral.

After Atletico, there's no rest for Madrid. On Sunday they will turn their attention to the game in the Champions League against APOEL.
