Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Al Ahly

Real Madrid will endeavour to return to winning ways when they begin their Club World Cup campaign against Al Ahly in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

Los Blancos suffered a major blow in their quest to retain the La Liga title when they lost 1-0 away against Mallorca on Sunday courtesy of a 13th-minute own goal from Nacho Fernandez.

Carlo Ancelotti's men have dropped points in three of their last five Spanish top-flight matches and they now find themselves eight points behind league leaders Barcelona.

Real Madrid now turn their attention to the Club World Cup with a semi-final encounter against Egyptian outfit Al Ahly, who have beaten Auckland City and Seattle Sounders to reach the last four.

Ahead of the contest at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Morocco, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news.
