Real Madrid can take another giant step towards the La Liga title when they travel to meet Osasuna on Wednesday evening.
Carlo Ancelotti's side left it late to get the better of Sevilla 3-2 on Sunday evening, as Karim Benzema struck the winner in second-half stoppage time following earlier efforts from Rodrygo and Nacho Fernandez.
Los Blancos now sit 15 points clear of second-placed Barcelona at the top of the table having played a gam more, and the Catalans failed to close that gap with defeat to Cadiz on Monday night.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Osasuna.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Leg

The injury-plagued Eden Hazard recently underwent an operation to remove an osteosynthesis plate on his right fibula, and he is expected to spend at least one more week on the sidelines.

Type of injury: COVID-19
Possible return date: April 20 (vs. Osasuna)
Nine days will have passed since the announcement of Jesus Vallejo's positive COVID-19 test by the time Wednesday's game rolls around, but the defender is highly unlikely to be considered for any minutes even if he has made an expected recovery.
Status: Out

Luka Jovic missed out on a place in the squad against Sevilla after having his wisdom teeth taken out, but the striker is expected to recover in time for Wednesday's game.
