Real Madrid's squad has been boosted by the returns of Dani Ceballos, Mariano Diaz, Luka Modric and Federico Valverde for Sunday's La Liga clash with Girona.

Modric and Valverde were both left out of the clash with RB Leipzig in the Champions League last week due to problems that they picked up against Sevilla in La Liga last weekend.

However, the duo are available for the team's upcoming league contest, and they are joined by Ceballos, who has recently been out with a calf issue.

Mariano, meanwhile, has missed Real Madrid's last three matches with a knock that he picked up in training, but the forward has also returned to the squad for this game.

There is still no Karim Benzema, though, with the forward set to miss a third straight game for the club.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said that the France international has been training, but he is 'still not feeling 100%'.

"He trained, but didn't feel comfortable and it all went well. He doesn't have a problem, but we need to keep in mind the player's feeling. He still doesn't feel 100%," said the manager.

Benzema, who has scored six goals and registered one assist in 11 appearances at club level this season, will now be bidding to return against Celtic in the Champions League next week.

Ancelotti said on Saturday that Rodrygo was suffering with "a small issue", but the Brazil international has been cleared for Sunday's contest with Girona.

"Karim Benzema won't be back in time, but we do have Luka Modric, Dani Ceballos, Fede Valverde, Mariano and Rodrygo, who had a small issue but who'll be available tomorrow," said the Italian.

Real Madrid need to beat Celtic at Bernabeu on Wednesday evening to ensure that they top their Champions League group, but Ancelotti will not want to concede any ground in the league, so a strong side is expected to take to the field for this match.

There are likely to be changes from the side that took to the field against Leipzig in the Champions League, with David Alaba, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy among those expected to return.

Marco Asensio was handed a rare start in Europe last time out, but the Spain international could be back on the bench for this one due to the return of Valverde.

Real Madrid squad vs. Girona:

Courtois, Lunin, Lopez; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho, Odriozola, Vazquez, Rudiger, Mendy; Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos; Hazard, Asensio, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mariano body check tags ::
