Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Celta Vigo

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

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from their heavy defeat in El Clasico when they resume their La Liga campaign away to Celta Vigo on Saturday evening.

Los Blancos suffered a 4-0 home loss to Barcelona before the international break, but the capital giants are still clear at the top of the table, sitting nine points ahead of second-placed Sevilla.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are 12 clear of third-placed Barcelona, meanwhile, placing them in a very strong position entering the business end of the campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Celta, who are currently 11th in Spain's top flight.
