Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Espanyol

Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Espanyol.

Real Madrid will win La Liga with four matches to spare if they avoid defeat against Espanyol on Saturday afternoon.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are currently 15 points clear of second-placed Barcelona at the top of the table, meaning that a point this weekend would be enough to secure the title.

Los Blancos will enter this match off the back of a defeat, though, losing 4-3 at Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Espanyol, who currently sit 13th in Spain's top flight.
