Casemiro back in the squad, academy player Miguel also in

Zidane has made public the matchday squad for Real Madrid's game away to Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium this Sunday. Casemiro's return and Miguel Gutierrez's inclusion are the highlights. 

Real Madrid face Espanyol this Sunday. And the list of 23 players who travel to Barcelona has been made public after Zinedine Zidane's press conference. 

The main news is the expected return of Casemiro, who had to serve a one match ban against Mallorca due to yellow card accumlation. 

Nacho, Lucas, Jovic, Mendy and Modric are the main absentees, the first three due to injury and the other two because of suspension. Therefore, Zidane has had to resort to the B team squad to complete the squad. 

On this occasion, Altube and Javi Hernandez have been joined by fellow academy player Miguel Gutierrez. None of those who travel are a yellow card away from suspension.
