Real Madrid announce squad for Madrid Derby against Atletico de Madrid

Real Madrid have published their squad list for Sunday’s Madrid Derby against Atletico de Madrid.

REAL MADRID’S SQUAD LIST:

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin and Luis López.

Defenders: Carvajal, E. Militão, Vallejo, Nacho and F. Mendy.

Midfielders: Kroos, Modrić, Casemiro, Valverde, Lucas V. and Camavinga.

Attackers: Benzema, Asensio, Jović, Vini Jr., Rodrygo and Mariano.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to make any rotations —at least with his squad list— and included every available player.
