Marco Asensio plays down Real Madrid's injury concerns

Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio insists that his team are not concerned with their injury list ahead of Saturday's Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio has insisted that Los Blancos have the squad to cope with absences ahead of Saturday night's Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.

Zinedine Zidane's side are expected to be without Karim Benzema, Pepe and Mateo Kovacic for the derby, while captain Sergio Ramos is still a doubt and key midfielder Casemiro remains on the sidelines.

Asensio, however, has claimed that Real Madrid are 'not concerned' with absences as they have the squad to compete.

"Concerned? There are other players available, a derby is a derby," Asensio told Goal.com. "The players are there and are available."

Hosts Atletico have lost two of their last three in the league and will enter this weekend's clash six points behind table-toppers Real Madrid after 11 matches of the La Liga season.
