Thibaut Courtois, Casemiro, Luka Modric, and Karim Benzema will all return to Real Madrid's starting XI for Sunday's La Liga match against Elche, according to Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti made several changes for Thursday's Copa del Rey encounter against Elche, which Los Blancos won 2-1 after extra time to advance to the competition's quarter-finals.
Courtois will return from a minor injury to play in goal, while Casemiro and Modric will return to midfield, and Benzema will return to lead the assault.
Eder Militao, who was suspended on Thursday, will be able to return to the starting lineup, while Ferland Mendy will return to the left-back position.
Real Madrid will be without Mariano Diaz and Marco Asensio again due to injury, while Gareth Bale returned to the lineup against Elche on Thursday after recuperating from a back problem.
The return of Dani Carvajal, who has been unavailable for selection owing to a positive COVID-19 test, might also help Los Blancos.
Isco and Eden Hazard scored off the bench at Elche on Thursday, but they are unlikely to start, with Rodrygo poised to keep his place in attack with Vinicius Junior and Benzema.
