Dani Carvajal is back for Real Madrid in the Derbi against Atletico Madrid, who are boosted by the return of Koke.

Carvajal had been missing since the end of September with a heart problem, but he has made a quick recovery to regain his place on the right side of Madrid’s back four.

Luka Modric has also put a fever behind him to start alongside Casemiro and Toni Kroos in Los Blancos’ midfield.

The trio will face Koke, the Spaniard having recovered from a hamstring injury after missing Atleti’s last three League games.

However, no chances are taken over the fitness of Filipe Luis, meaning Lucas Hernandez continues at left-back.
