Teenage midfield star Pedri has recovered from injury in time to make the matchday squad but defensive player Ronald Araujo misses out after sustaining an injury in the league clash last weekend.
Bale bullish on salary
Real Madrid news is dominated by a report in Marca that Gareth Bale will not back down on his salary and will not negotiate with the club.
The Welshman earns €692,660 per week – of which Madrid and Tottenham each pay half – but he will not negotiate that down for the final year of his contract in the Spanish capital, although he would be prepared to leave on loan once again.
Atleti duo back for derby
Atletico Madrid are preparing for the upcoming Madrid derby against Real Madrid and they have received a double boost ahead of the game.
