Reports in the Spanish Press this morning claim that Raphael Varane will be back in the Real Madrid starting XI this week.
Los Blancos go to Vicente Calderon on Wednesday for the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final.
They have a 3-0 lead going into the match, and as such, Carlo Ancelotti will start the France international as he looks to come back from injury.
The youngster has been out since November 9 with a recurring knee injury, but after coming through training, AS believe that the Italian tactician will put his faith in the centre-back for the derby.
Varane will also be put into the XI to protect either Sergio Ramos or Pepe, who are both a booking away from suspension.
