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

Real Madrid will be looking to make it back-to-back La Liga victories when they travel to Villarreal on Saturday afternoon.

Los Blancos recorded a 1-0 win over Granada last time out to open up a six-point advantage over second-placed Sevilla at the top of the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Villarreal, who currently sit sixth in the division.
