Squad list: Real Madrid's 19 men to face Almería

Real Madrid visit Almería this Friday (20:45 CET) without Sergio Ramos and James Rodríguez, two of Ancelotti's main men.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Keylor Navas and Pacheco.
Defenders: Varane, Pepe, Coentrão, Marcelo, Arbeloa, Carvajal and Nacho.
Midfielders: Kroos, Bale, Isco, Illarra and Medrán.
Strikers: Cristiano Ronaldo, Jesé, Benzema and Chicharito.

Jesé is back on a Liga BBVA list, as he had only featured in the Copa del Rey and Champions League since his return. This could be the very first serious test he faces in eight months. Ancelotti might want to use him to see if he's ready to start one of the FIFA Club World Cup games.
