Real Madrid will be looking for their fourth straight La Liga victory when they welcome Espanyol to the Bernabeu on Saturday afternoon, reports agencies.
Madrid will again be without the services of Marco Asensio, James Rodriguez and Lucas Vazquez , while Nacho is also unlikely to feature despite recently returning to training following a knee problem.
Eden Hazard has also been ruled out for the remainder of 2019 after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right ankle, meaning that the Belgian will also miss El Clasico later this month.
Gareth Bale's involvement is also in doubt having not yet trained with his teammates this week, meaning that Rodrygo Goes could return to the side alongside Karim Benzema and Isco in the final third.
Thibaut Courtois, Raphael Varane and Federico Valverde are also in line for recalls having been left out of the XI against Alaves, while Ferland Mendy is expected to replace Marcelo, who is struggling with a calf issue.
As for Espanyol, Victor Sanchez will be unavailable as he serves a one-game suspension, while Javi Lopez, Facundo Ferreyra, Matias Vargas and Naldo remain on the treatment table.
Jonathan Calleri's strike against Osasuna last time out could see the striker come into the side, while Oscar Melendo and Pablo Piatti are also pushing for spots.
