Goalkeepers: Casillas, Navas, Pacheco

Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Varane, Pepe, Nacho, Marcelo

Midfielders: Kroos, Modric, Isco, Medrán, Aguza, James, Bale

Strikers: Benzema, Ronaldo, Chicharito

Asier Illarramendi and Sami Khedira are left out for the second consecutive time after suffering an injury during Real Madrid's brilliant win at Granada. In other news, Jesé and Fàbio Coentrao will still need to wait before being called up by Ancelotti, even though they made their return to the squad today. Jesé should be ready in a month, according to Carlo Ancelotti, while Coentrao will not rush his recovery process considering how injury prone he is.
