Ronaldo sat out the 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday with a thigh complaint, while Benzema was taken off as a precaution after taking a knock to his knee, but both are expected to play a part against Manuel Pellegrini's side.

There are also concerns over Pepe, who has only partly trained in the past week, but the Portugal centre-back is also included.

Madrid squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Ruben Yanez.
