Real Madrid announced on Friday their 22-man shortlist for Saturday night's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, with Kylian Mbappe and Ferland Mendy both returning to the squad after their absences in the past few games.

Two big returns for Real Madrid ahead of their Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on Saturday night, as Kylian Mbappe and Ferland Mendy have both been included in Carlo Ancelotti's 22-man shortlist for the showdown.

The 26-year-old striker missed out on Real Madrid's La Liga wins over Athletic Bilbao and Getafe after picking up an ankle problem against Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, full-back Mendy was last in action in the last 16 Madrid derby triumph over Atletico, but has managed to put the hamstring injury behind him, as he eyes a place back in the starting lineup at La Cartuja in Seville.

Elsewhere in the team, Los Blancos continue to count the absences of Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal due to long-term injuries, with Camavinga also adding his name to the list after picking up a season-ending blow at Getafe.

Full Real Madrid squad list:

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin, Gonzalez;

Defenders: Alaba, Vasquez, Vallejo, Garcia, Rudiger, Mendy, Asencio;

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

Forwards: Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Endrick, Brahim.
