Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao.

Real Madrid will round off their 2019 with a La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.

Los Blancos dominated Wednesday's El Clasico for long spells but could not find the back of the net as the points were shared with Barcelona, who remain top of the table on goal difference.

Zinedine Zidane's side could be three points behind Barca by the time they take to the field against Bilbao, but any slip from the champions would open the opportunity for the capital giants to pounce.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.


Marco Asensio

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Marco Asensio faces a battle to play again this season after suffering a serious knee injury during the team's preparations for the 2019-20 campaign. A timeframe on his return has not yet been set by the club.


James Rodriguez

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

James Rodriguez is expected to miss the remainder of 2019 after suffering a knee injury during a training session with Colombia in November. The attacker was allowed to join up with his country despite his injury problems in recent months but is now facing an extended period on the sidelines.


Lucas Vazquez

Status: Out
Type of injury: Toe
Possible return date: Unknown

Lucas Vazquez has missed Madrid's last five league matches after suffering a fractured toe during a gym session last month. The Spaniard is not expected to return to training until after the winter break in Spain.


Eden Hazard

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Eden Hazard will be on the sidelines for the remainder of the year after being diagnosed with an "external micro-fracture" of his right ankle. A firm return date for the Belgium international has not yet been set.


Marcelo

Status: Out
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: Unknown

Experienced defender Marcelo has had his fair share of injury problems this season, and the Brazil international is now facing a battle to return before 2020 having picked up a calf injury.


REAL MADRID'S SUSPENSION LIST

Return date: January 4 (vs. Getafe)

Madrid will be without the services of key midfielder Casemiro through suspension, with the Brazil international picking up a yellow card against Barca on Wednesday night.
