Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti announced his team’s list that will play El Clasico on Saturday against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The royal club has been facing many injuries recently, but there is positive news that appeared in the Merengue list for the upcoming La Liga summit.
Brahim Diaz is back and can participate
The list included the name of Brahim Diaz, who was absent from Real Madrid for a month and a half due to injury.
There were doubts about including Diaz in the El Clasico list and waiting for him until the next Valencia match, but medical examinations showed his full readiness to play the fiery confrontation.

David Alaba, who has been injured since December 2023 and is expected to return next January, will continue to be absent, along with Dani Carvajal, who will not return to the stadiums for a year from now.
