Assists in return Ceballos assisted once to go with two shots (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 victory versus Almeria.

Impact Ceballos was back in the lineup after serving a one-match ban (yellow card accumulation) midweek. He logged in his second assist in six games while recording 10 tackles (seven won) and six chances created in that span. With Luka Modric (thigh) set to miss time, the midfielder will likely get the call to start in his place, after starting 14 times in 28 appearances thus far.

Good to go for Saturday Ceballos (undisclosed) has been called up by Real Madrid for Saturday's derby against Atletico.

Impact Ceballos appeared to pick up a knock late in Tuesday's Champions League win over Liverpool, but he should be available to feature against Atletico Madrid.

Takes three shots against La Real Ceballos took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad. He also made two interceptions and won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Ceballos has started three of Madrid's last four La Liga games in midfield thanks to Luka Modric's poor form, an injury to Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga being forced out to left-back, and he's performed decently well in that run. Ceballos will likely return to the bench once everyone is available again, but he could begin to take on a more consistent role in this squad, especially if 37-year-old Modric really starts to show his age.
