Casemiro, Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Junior return to the Real Madrid squad for Saturday's clash with Villarreal.

Casemiro, Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Junior have all returned to the Real Madrid squad for Saturday afternoon's La Liga contest with Villarreal.

Vinicius missed out against Granada last weekend through suspension, while illness prevented Casemiro and Vazquez from featuring in the 1-0 win.

However, all three players have been recalled to the squad against the Yellow Submarine, with Los Blancos looking to secure another three La Liga points before switching their attention to the Champions League.

Neither Ferland Mendy nor Karim Benzema will feature against Villarreal due to muscular issues, but the pair could return for Tuesday's last-16 first leg with Paris Saint-Germain.

Gareth Bale is in the squad for Saturday's match, though, and head coach Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that the Wales international could be given some minutes.

Luka Jovic is also included despite struggling with fatigue following a positive COVID-19 test, but Mariano Diaz misses out on the squad through injury.

Full squad: Courtois, Lunin, Fuidias, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho, Marcelo, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Lucas, Ceballos, Isco, Camavinga, Hazard, Asensio, Jovic, Bale, Vinicius, Rodrygo
