Madrid squad list for Atletico derby: Rudiger called up despite not training

Antonio Rudiger has been called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti for Sunday's La Liga match against Atletico Madrid despite missing Real Madrid's last two training sessions. The German suffered a blow to his thigh on Thursday and has been unable to train.

Aurelien Tchouameni will be unavailable to help his team in the Madrid derby, as will Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba, who are still recovering from injuries.

The Italian manager will be trying to push the German defender's recovery to the last minute due to the absence of Militao and Alaba in defence. Meanwhile, Tchouameni has not been called up due to several yellow cards.
