Keylor Navas has missed the chance to face his former team as Iker Casillas is named in the Real Madrid side to face Levante this afternoon.
Los Blancos can extend their La Liga winning streak to five games with a win at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking forward to the clash, having scored in his last five matches against Levante.
The hosts, meanwhile, start Victor Casadesus up top as they look to arrest their poor start to the season.
Jose Luis Mendilibar's side have won just once in their opening seven fixtures.
Levante: Marino; Ivan, Hector, Ruben, Morales; Juanfran, Gavilan, Casadesus, Pedro Lopez; Diop, Camarasa
Real Madrid: Casillas; Pepe, Nacho, Carvajal, Marcelo; Kroos, James, Modric, Isco, Ronaldo; Hernandez
