Real Madrid have published the squad list for the last game in the Champions League gorup stage. Karim Benzema is in, but neither Hazard nor Tchouameni made the cut.

Karim Benzema is the big new name for Real Madrid against Celtic. The French striker did not train with his teammates this Tuesday, but has been included in Carlo Ancelotti's squad list.

The Madrid boss had already said that he could be called up. And hours after the press conference, the French striker's presence was confirmed.

Who is not in the list is Eden Hazard. This Monday, the Belgian forward felt twinges in his thigh and he has been left out of the Madrid coach's squad list.

Aurelien Tchouameni does not feature either. The French midfielder has a muscle problem and Ancelotti did not want to risk him for the game against Celtic.
