Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg with Chelsea.

Having already dumped Liverpool out of the competition, Real Madrid will endeavour to get one over another English side in the Champions League as they prepare for the first leg of their semi-final clash with Chelsea on Tuesday.

Los Blancos could not find a way through at Anfield as they drew 0-0 in the second leg, but a 3-1 first-leg win over Liverpool saw them progress to the final four and keep their hopes of a 14th European crown alive.

However, Zinedine Zidane's men head into this game following a disappointing result in La Liga, as they played out a 0-0 draw with Real Betis and missed the chance to go top.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg.
