Take a look at Carlo Ancelotti's 21-man shortlist for Real Madrid's 'Clasico' Sunday in La Liga. Rodrygo is back in the mix to face Barcelona, as youngsters Ramon and Enriquez have been included to fill in for the absences in defence.

After missing the 3-2 win over Celta Vigo last weekend, Rodrygo Goes is back in the mix for Real Madrid for Sunday's 'Clasico', crucial for their La Liga hopes with four games to go until the end of the season.

The Brazilian winger's return is a massive boost for the Merengues, whose chances to stay in the title battles are narrowed down to the clash at the Montjuic, as they sit four points behind leaders Barcelona.

However, whether Rodrygo will start against Hansi Flick's side remains a mystery, especially after Arda Guler impressed in his absence, scoring a goal and assisting Kylian Mbappe's second against Celta.

Carlo Ancelotti has called up youngsters Jacobo Ramon and Youssef Enriquez due to the major absences of Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Camavinga, Mendy and Alaba, all ruled out with season-ending injuries.


Full Real Madrid squad:

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin, Mestre.

Defenders: Vazquez, Vallejo, Garcia, Asencio, Enriquez, Ramon.

Midfielders: Bellingham, Valverde, Modric, Tchouameni, Guler, Ceballos.

Forwards: Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Endrick, Diaz, Munoz.
