Brazilian midfielder is yet to make his début for the Madrid club, despite being named on the bench for last two games.
But this is expected to change in the match with Deportivo as German midfielder Sami Khedira was injured in the derby against Atlético Madrid. Spanish paper AS reckons Khedira is a doubt for the next fixture and Carlo Ancelotti could be left with little option but to field Lucas. Ancelotti is already without Luka Modrić and James Rodríguez and has only Toni Kroos, Isco and Illarramendi fit for next weekend.
