Real Madrid will again be missing Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, Dani Ceballos and Arda Guler for Saturday's La Liga clash with Barcelona.

Real Madrid will again be without the services of four players for Saturday's El Clasico against Barcelona.

Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois are long-term absentees for Los Blancos, with the former not expected back on the field until at least March, while the latter is missing for potentially the rest of the campaign.

Arda Guler is back in training, with the Turkey international now very close to making his debut for the club following a move from Fenerbahce over the summer.

However, this match has come too soon, with the youngster left off the squad list.

Dani Ceballos, meanwhile, has also not recovered from a muscular problem, although he is expected back early next month, potentially for the clash with Rayo Vallecano on November 5.

There had been some concern over Jude Bellingham's fitness when the midfielder was substituted in the latter stages of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Braga.

However, fears surrounding the England international were quickly played down, and head coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed during his press conference that Bellingham would be available.

Nacho is back in the squad following a domestic suspension, although the experienced defender is expected to be among the substitutes for the first whistle.

Joselu is also selected, with the Spain international recovering from the illness that forced him to withdraw from the squad against Braga in Portugal.

Rodrygo is again expected to get the nod alongside Vinicius Junior in the final third, with Ancelotti's biggest decisions in terms of team selection seemingly coming at left-back and in midfield.

Ancelotti suggested during his press conference that Ferland Mendy would play at left-back, which might mean that Eduardo Camavinga is among the substitutes for the first whistle.

Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde should both start in midfield, with Toni Kroos also expected to be in the side, so it could be Luka Modric and Camavinga to miss out in that area of the field.

Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Sevilla in the league last weekend, but they have picked up 25 points from 10 matches this term to top the table.

Los Blancos were beaten 3-1 at Atletico Madrid on September 24 in their only loss of the campaign in all competitions, having also triumphed in their opening three Champions League fixtures.

Real Madrid squad vs. Barcelona:

Lunin, Kepa, Pineiro; Carvajal, Alaba, Nacho, Vazquez, F Garcia, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni; Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu, Brahim
