Real have Ramos back for clasico but Bale sits it out


MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid will have their combative Spain centre back Sergio Ramos available for Saturday's "clasico" against Barcelona but Wales winger Gareth Bale is out, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday.

Ramos, who has twice been sent off in recent clasicos, has shaken off a calf injury and should partner Pepe in the middle of defence after missing Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League victory at Liverpool, Ancelotti told a news conference previewing the game at Madrid's Bernabeu home.
