Real Madrid will again be without Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba for Thursday's La Liga clash with Getafe.

Real Madrid will be without the services of long-term absentees Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba for Thursday's La Liga clash with Getafe.

Courtois and Militao have both been missing since August with ACL injuries, while Alaba suffered the same serious knee injury towards the end of last year and will be out for the remainder of the season.

Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti recently revealed that both Courtois and Militao were on course to return before the end of the campaign, although it is unclear at this stage when the pair could be back.

Real Madrid did not suffer any fresh fitness problems in their 2-1 win over Las Palmas on Saturday, while the squad has been boosted for this match by the return of Jude Bellingham, with the club's leading goalscorer this season absent last time out through suspension.

Eduardo Camavinga is in the squad, but he is at risk of a suspension, with a yellow card in this contest making him unavailable for the Madrid derby at home to Atletico Madrid on Sunday night.

Ancelotti's side have another three league games against Getafe, Atletico and Girona before heading to RB Leipzig for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on February 13.

Real Madrid sit second in the La Liga table, one point behind leaders Girona, but they have a game in hand on the team currently at the summit.

"It's a crucial match for the season. They are a very solid team, who play well and are forceful in duels. It will be a demanding game, but the team is good and confident," Ancelotti told reporters.

The Italian was also asked about Arda Guler, who has only made three appearances for Los Blancos during an injury-hit first campaign at the club.

"He is progressing very well. He's getting better every day and he's getting used to the intensity. He's going to get minutes, patience," Ancelotti added.

"I understand that there is pressure on him. Turkey want to see him play for Real Madrid, but the boy is 18 years old."

Guler, who arrived at Bernabeu from Fenerbahce last summer, has only played nine minutes of La Liga football this season, which came as a late substitute in the narrow success over Las Palmas last time out.

Ancelotti was also asked about the goalkeeping situation at the club but refused to reveal whether it would be Andriy Lunin or Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks on Thursday.

Real Madrid squad vs. Getafe:

Lunin, Kepa, Fran; Carvajal, Nacho, Vazquez, F Garcia, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Guler; Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu, Brahim
