Casemiro, who missed Real Madrid's last game, versus Athletic, through suspension, will be fresh for the Getafe match. Zidane has not hesitated in including him in the list.
The player out through suspension this time is Sergio Ramos. The defender picked up his fifth yellow card last time out and so he will unable to play.
James, Marcelo and Lucas Vazquez, who have trained recently with the aim of being fit in time, have not been included in the squad in the end. Zidane preferred not to risk them and allow them to rest a bit more in order to get back to full fitness.
Asensio and Hazard are not there either. The Real Madrid coach opted to leave out Brahim and Mariano, both for tactical reasons.
The full squad list is as follows: Courtois, Areola, Altube, Carvajal, Militao, Varane, Nacho, Odriozola, Mendy, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Isco, Benzema, Bale, Jovic, Vinicius, Rodrygo.
