Real Madrid will be looking to strengthen their grip on first position in La Liga when they welcome Granada to the Bernabeu on Saturday afternoon.
Last weekend's goalless draw at Atletico Madrid moved Los Blancos back to the top of the table - one point clear of second-placed Granada, who have also been in strong form this season.
Madrid are yet to lose in Spain's top flight during the 2019-20 campaign, but Zinedine Zidane's side were disappointingly held to a 2-2 draw by Club Brugge in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's clash.
