Real Madrid are expected to welcome David Alaba back into their starting side for Saturday's La Liga contest with Sevilla at Estadio Ramon.

The Austria international was absent before the international break due to a groin problem, but he is now back in the squad and set to be involved this weekend.

Arda Guler, who is yet to make his debut for Los Blancos, has also trained this week, as he enters the final stages of his recovery from a thigh problem, but this match will come too soon for him.

Nacho remains suspended, while Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois are long-term absentees for the division leaders due to serious knee problems.

Dani Ceballos will also be missing for Los Blancos on Saturday evening due to a muscular issue issue.

Aurelien Tchouameni played as a centre-back against Osasuna last time out due to the team's defensive absentees, but he will return to midfield if Alaba is fit.

Eduardo Camavinga might be moved back into a defensive position, with Toni Kroos potentially featuring in the middle of the park.

Joselu was again on the scoresheet against Osasuna last time out, and he is set to continue alongside Vinicius Junior in attack, with the in-form Jude Bellingham playing as the number 10.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Camavinga; Valverde, Tchouameni, Kroos; Bellingham; Joselu, Vinicius body check tags ::
