Real Madrid will aim to extend their lead at the top of the La Liga table when they welcome Athletic Bilbao to the capital on Wednesday night.
Carlo Ancelotti's men had to come from behind to beat Sevilla 2-1 last time out, as Rafa Mir's strike was cancelled out by Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
Los Blancos have now opened up a four-point lead at the summit and will stay there no matter what transpires this week, but Ancelotti will be wary of the likes of Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Dani Ceballos sustained a nasty ankle injury during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with Spain and will not be ready to feature in midweek.

Gareth Bale continues to nurse a calf problem and is not expected to be ready for the Athletic test, but he should return at some point before Christmas.
