Xabi Alonso has named his 22-man squad for Saturday's clash with Espanyol, with three big boosts for Real Madrid: Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga return from injury, while Endrick makes his first squad appearance since May.

Real Madrid go into the weekend with a perfect league record and the chance to extend their winning streak at the Santiago Bernabeu. Their opponents, Espanyol, arrive in fine form after a strong start to the season, making this an important early test for Alonso's men.

The good news for Los Blancos is the recovery of Bellingham and Camavinga, both back in the group and candidates to play minutes as they build fitness. Endrick, meanwhile, completes his comeback by earning his first call-up since his hamstring injury.

The main absentee is Dean Huijsen, suspended following his red card against Real Sociedad.
