Mario de Luis is back in Real Madrid's squad for one of the most important weekends of the season. The young Rayo Vallecano-trained goalkeeper, who has been loaned out to Real Avilés and Xerez Deportivo in the past, is one of the most striking names in Carlo Ancelotti's squad for Sunday's 'El Clasico' against Barcelona.

Otherwise, the Italian coach can be pleased that Ferland Mendy and Dani Carvajal will be in the squad, with Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba both missing due to meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament tears respectively. Regarding to the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City, Aurelien Tchouameni, who was suspended after seeing a fifth yellow card in the first leg, returns.
