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

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

Real Madrid will be looking for their fifth straight La Liga win when they travel to Valencia on Sunday night.

Los Blancos remain second in the table heading into the next set of fixtures in Spain's top flight, but they are level on points with leaders and bitter rivals Barcelona.

Zinedine Zidane's side have won their last four in the league, while they rounded off their Champions League group-stage campaign with a 3-1 victory away to Club Brugge on Wednesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
