Real Madrid will get to their clash against Atlético as La Liga's uncontested leader, and facing the defending champions does not seem like an easy task. Hence, Carlo Ancelotti waited all week long to have good news regarding some of his available players, and those good news came out today.
The Italian coach revealed the names of the players that made the squad to face Atlético on Sunday, and Real Madrid fans will be happy to know that Karim Benzema will be available to play against Los Colchoneros. The Frenchman limped off the pitch during Real Madrid's last league game and missed the match against Inter in the UEFA Champions League, but he has been cleared to play against Los Rojiblancos this Sunday.
On top of that, Ancelotti confirmed that Gareth Bale will also be available to play for Los Blancos after a three-month absence from the team's squad lists. Bale picked up an injury during the early stages of the season in what could be his final year with Los Merengues after playing three matches, scoring one goal and handing out an assist. Hence, his presence will be gladly welcome by Ancelotti.
