Take a look at the Real Madrid squad list for Saturday's derby clash against Atletico Madrid. Camavinga and Vazquez are back from injuries as 'Los Blancos' fight to maintain their one-point lead over their local rivals in La Liga.

Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid on Saturday night at the Santiago Bernabeu aiming to maintain first place in La Liga. The 'Merengues' sit at the top of the Spanish top flight with 49 points, one more than their city rivals.

'Los Blancos' have been handed a major boost ahead of the crucial derby as Camavinga and Vazquez have been included in the matchday squad after being sidelined due to injuries. Although Vazquez returned for the Copa del Rey victory over Leganes, he was left on the bench to avoid any risks. Carlo Ancelotti will be able to count on Courtois, Bellingham and Mbappe after opting to rest them during Wednesday's trip to Leganes to ensure maximum fitness against Diego Simeone's side.

Carvajal and Militao are Real Madrid's long-term absentees but Alaba and Rudiger recently joined the list after suffering muscle tears. The pair are expected to be out for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, youngsters Lorenzo Aguado, Jacobo Ramon and Gonzalo Garcia, who grabbed a last-gasp winner against Leganes, have all been included in the shortlist for Atletico Madrid's visit.
