Karim Benzema has been named in the Real Madrid squad for Sunday's La Liga contest with Atletico Madrid.
The France international was absent against Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday due to the hamstring problem that he picked up in the league clash with Real Sociedad last weekend.
However, Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti said that he was confident that the striker would recover in time for the Madrid derby at Bernabeu.
Real Madrid have now released their squad for the contest, and there is a spot for Benzema, who has scored 17 times and registered eight assists in 20 appearances at club level this term.
The 33-year-old has managed 12 goals and seven assists in 15 league appearances, meanwhile, playing a key role in his side's impressive run of form in recent weeks.
Gareth Bale has also returned to the squad after recovering from a calf problem, with Dani Ceballos, who is still struggling with an ankle problem, the only first-team absentee for the league leaders.
Full squad: Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin, Toni Fuidias, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Jesus Vallejo, Nacho Fernandez, Marcelo, Ferland Mendy, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Fede Valverde, Lucas Vazquez, Isco, Eduardo Camavinga, Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Luka Jovic, Gareth Bale, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Mariano Diaz body check tags ::
