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

Real Madrid will be looking to make it back-to-back wins at the start of their Champions League group-stage campaign when they head to Napoli on Tuesday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side recorded a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin in their Group C opener on September 20, with Jude Bellingham netting the only goal of the contest in Madrid.

Los Blancos will enter this contest off the back of a 3-0 victory over Girona, meanwhile, with the success moving the capital outfit to the top of the La Liga table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Napoli, who recorded a 4-0 win over Lecce in Serie A on Saturday.
