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

Real Madrid will be looking to book their spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey when they welcome fellow La Liga side Real Sociedad to the Bernabeu on Thursday night.

Los Blancos thumped Real Zaragoza 4-0 in the last-16 stage of the competition, while Sociedad progressed to the quarter-finals courtesy of a 3-1 home victory over Osasuna.

Zinedine Zidane's side, who beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 on Saturday, will enter the match off the back of eight straight wins in all competitions, including their last four in La Liga to move to the top of the table.

Eden Hazard has been on the sidelines since the end of November due to a fractured ankle. The 29-year-old, who joined in a big-money deal from Chelsea last summer, has recently stepped up his recovery in training, though, and could potentially be involved in Thursday's Copa del Rey clash.

Madrid have no players suspended for the Copa del Rey contest.
