Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Shakhtar Donetsk

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's shock defeat to Cadiz when they open their 2020-21 Champions League campaign at home to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Los Blancos suffered their first league loss of the campaign at home to Cadiz, with Anthony Lozano scoring the only goal of the contest in the 16th minute.
