Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Sunday's La Liga clash with Eibar.

Real Madrid's 2019-20 La Liga campaign will resume with a clash against Eibar on Sunday night.

The coronavirus outbreak and subsequent lockdown means that Zinedine Zidane's side have not been in action since suffering a 2-1 defeat to Real Betis on March 8.

Madrid are very much in the title race at this stage of the campaign, sitting second in the table, just two points behind champions and current leaders Barcelona.

Los Blancos will play their final six home league matches of the season at their training ground - the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium - starting with a clash against relegation-threatened Eibar.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Zidane's side could line up this weekend.


Out: Luka Jovic (foot), Nacho (thigh)
Doubtful: Mariano Diaz (toe)

Eden Hazard has had an injury-hit first season at the Bernabeu, making just 10 La Liga appearances. The 29-year-old has only played twice in the league since the end of November, but the lockdown period has allowed him to fully recover from his troubles, and the Belgian should return to the starting XI here.

Marco Asensio is also available and could play for the first time this season, having been on the sidelines since suffering a serious knee injury during the team's preparations for the 2019-20 campaign.

Luka Jovic and Nacho are Madrid's only confirmed absentees for this match, although Mariano Diaz is also likely to miss out due to a toe problem, leaving Karim Benzema as the club's only fit number nine.

Benzema could be joined as part of a front two with Hazard, opening up a spot just behind for Isco. Vinicius Junior and Gareth Bale are also options should Zidane wish to select a 4-3-3, although the latter has struggled for form this season.

Further back, Federico Valverde is expected to get the nod over Luka Modric to start alongside Casemiro and Toni Kroos in midfield, while Ferland Mendy is likely to be preferred at left-back to Marcelo.

There are unlikely to be any surprises elsewhere, though, with Thibaut Courtois, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane and Dani Carvajal all certain starters this weekend.
