MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid will still be without their two most expensive players Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard for Saturday's derby at home to Atletico Madrid as Zinedine Zidane's side look to cement their new-found status as La Liga title favourites.

Hazard has returned to training this week for the first time since hurting his ankle against Paris St Germain on Nov. 26 but was left out of the squad for the derby after Zidane said he would take no risks with the Belgium international.
