Zinedine Zidane is expected to display his usual starting eleven against arch-rivals Barcelona as both teams meet in La Liga on Saturday.
The French manager has recovered Sergio Ramos on time for this match and he will most likely include the Spaniard in the starting eleven, featuring alongside Pepe at centre-back. Marcelo and Daniel Carvajal will be the full-backs.
In midfield, Casemiro has earned a spot among the starters and he is expected to feature alongside Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Thus, Isco and James Rodriguez will sit on the bench.
The BBC will be in charge of scoring goals. Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo have rested during the international friendlies break and they should be in top form to face Barcelona.
This is Real Madrid’s projected eleven for El Clasico: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Luis Enrique has problems at left-back, as Jeremy Mathieu and Adriano are sidelined through injury and Jordi Alba has suffered from muscle problems this week.
This is Barcelona’s projected eleven: Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
