Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric were the surprise inclusions in Rafa Benítez's squad for Real Madrid's Champions League game against PSG in Paris. However, Los Blancos will have to play for top spot in Group A without the injured Dani Carvajal, Pepe, James Rodríguez, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

Ramos returns to the squad fully recovered from a shoulder injury and eager to feature in the big game at the Parc des Princes. After coming back from injury ahead of time for the game at the Vicente Calderón, he was then released from international duty by Spain and sat out the league game against Levante.

Modric has also recovered from the muscular injury he picked up whilst on international duty with Croatia and is a welcome addition to Real Madrid's injury-plagued squad, especially after Bale suffered a relapse to his calf injury after two internationals with Wales and the first half of the game against Levante.

The squad for the game against PSG are: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Rubén Yáñez; Varane, Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo, Danilo; Kroos, Casemiro, Kovacic, Modric, Cheryshev, Isco, Marcos Llorente; Cristiano Ronaldo, Lucas Vázquez, Jesé and Mayoral.
