Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Borussia Monchengladbach

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from a surprise Champions League defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk when they continue their Group B campaign away to Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday night.

Los Blancos suffered a shock 3-2 home loss to Shakhtar in their European opener last week, with the Ukrainian outfit triumphing despite being without a number of players due to a coronavirus outbreak.

Zinedine Zidane's side did return to winning ways on Saturday, though, recording an impressive 3-1 victory away to Barcelona in the first Clasico of the 2020-21 campaign.
