BARCELONA, Spain -- Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann are fit to play Saturdays Spanish capital derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.While Benzema is Madrids top choice to accompany Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in attack, Griezmanns importance to Atletico is paramount.Griezmann has scored eight goals for his club this season and should join Yannick Carrasco and Kevin Gameiro in attack for Atleticos home match. He was doubtful because of a foot knock picked up while playing for France until Atleticos team doctors cleared him after Fridays late practice.I have the good fortune to have a football player (like Griezmann) who wants to keep improving and is as talented as he is, Atletico manager Diego Simeone said.Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane picked Benzema, but he didnt reveal if he will start Benzema or place him in the reserves.He is better, and if he is on the squad then he can play, Zidane said.Benzema was in doubt because of a lingering hip problem. He has five goals in 13 appearances this season.Zidane will be without his other pure striker, Alvaro Morata, who injured a hamstring while playing for Spain over the international break.Once the capitals dominant team, Madrid hasnt beaten Atletico in six consecutive league derbies, although it has topped its cross-town rival in two Champions League finals during that stretch.Zidane gave credit to Simeone for transforming Atletico since his arrival midway through the 2011-12 season.Atletico gets better year after year, Zidane said. It has a coach that has changed so many things. He is doing a phenomenal job. Everybody always says Atletico defends well, but it is so much more than that.Madrid is also in fine form.Madrids defeat to Atletico last February marked the start of a remarkable run for Zidanes side, which hasnt lost in the league since -- a run of 23 matches.Besides Benzema, Madrid will also have back Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric after both recovered from knee problems, although Modric will be without fellow midfielders Toni Kroos and Casemiro due to injuries.Atletico has most of its midfielders, led by playmaker Jorge Koke Resurreccion, to choose from, including Nicolas Gaitan, who has recovered from a leg injury that sidelined him from Argentinas most recent World Cup qualifiers.Madrid leads the league and has a six-point advantage over fourth-place Atletico.But Simeone said that his teams main source of inspiration is the chance to win what will likely be the last derby played at the Vicente Calderon before Atletico moves to its new stadium.What we are focusing on is managing our emotions for what will be the last derby against our eternal rival in our home, Simeone said. Being nine, six or three points behind is not our concern right now. I know our fans will be like they always are. We need our `12th player and I dont need to tell them that.Defending champion Barcelona, which hosts Malaga on Saturday, is in second place two points adrift of Madrid.Air Max 270 Discount .

Conte must first concentrate on Italy at Euro 2016 this summer Conte is currently building towards Italys Euro 2016 campaign in France, but Souness says the to-do list at Stamford Bridge will not be easy to tick off.Souness told Sky Sports: I think hes got a monster job on now, Chelsea this year have been disappointing to say the least. Will Conte fit Chelsea? With Antonio Conte taking over at Chelsea in the summer, what do we know about the Italy boss? They started as champions and never really got going. When Guus Hiddink come in you thought all their problems would be solved but they werent. Theyve been up and down all season, even with the lift a new manager gives you.I think Jose saw the writing on the wall, he knew he had been lucky to win the league last year, he must have driven them, cajoled them, bullied them, to get to that point to win it, and at the start of the season he wanted more players and better players, and for some reason he didnt get them. Chelsea are 10 points off the top four with seven games remaining That must have been the reason he fell out with whoever he ended up falling out with, and that would include the players. Looking back, Jose was right, because that group were not good enough to go and retain the title this year.Conte coming in, unless he can go out and buy some real quality, it will be another up and down season for Chelsea.dddddddddddd.

Jose Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December after a woeful start to the campaign for the champions Thats the dilemma [no Champions League], the attraction of Chelsea in recent years can be put to two main reasons, the wages plus the attraction of the Champions League. So there is no quick fix to Chelsea.Hes a different voice, has different thoughts. Does he have a magic wand? No coach has a magic wand, its all about players. Roman Abramovich (left) must back Conte substantially if Chelsea are to succeed next season, says Souness He has a hard job on his hands, so will need a lot of support from the owner, will have to buy well, and then Chelsea will be challenging again.Theyve still got the nucleus of a really good team, but the fact they really couldnt get going again when they replaced the so-called problem with Jose falling out with people, they didnt really go on from there.Also See:Contes Chelsea will win titleSidwell: Conte must keep TerryConte sentence requestedWill Conte fit Chelsea?
