Official: Real Madrid squad list to face FC Barcelona | La Liga GW11 | OneFootball

Real Madrid will lock horns with arch-rivals FC Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the 2024/25 season on Saturday night at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Merengues will be in good spirits after their comeback 5-2 win over Borussia Dortmund and will hope to inflict damage to Hansi Flick’s high-flying Barça side tomorrow.

Ahead of the match, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has announced the squad list of players who will be at his disposal for the big game.

The big news is that Brahim Diaz is back in the squad after recovering from his injury much earlier than initially expected. The Moroccan ace has trained with the group this week and has been declared fit to be called up.

Meanwhile, Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo Goes have joined Dani Carvajal and David Alaba on the list of absentees for the reigning champions.

Kylian Mbappe and Endrick are named in the squad and will be raring to go ahead of their first-ever El Clasico.

Summer youth-team signing Sergio Mestre gets called up to the team again in the absence of Courtois to ensure goalkeeping depth.
