 Leganes lineup vs. Real Madrid: Predicted XI for Copa del Rey clash with Sergio Gonzalez's availability revealed

Will Sergio Gonzalez be available? Predicted Leganes XI vs. Real Madrid

Leganes captain Sergio Gonzalez will be available to feature in Wednesday's Copa del Rey quarter-final clash against Real Madrid.

The defender was shown a straight red card in the first half of Friday's 1-0 home defeat to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.

However, Gonzalez will serve his suspension in La Liga, meaning that he will be eligible for Leganes' midweek cup tie against Real Madrid.

While Gonzalez will be available, Leganes will be unable to call upon Seydouba Cisse after the midfielder sustained a hamstring injury in the narrow loss to Rayo.

Cisse has joined a treatment room which includes Enrique Franquesa, who is out for the rest of the season with anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Meanwhile, Juan Soriano is set to replace Marko Dmitrovic in goal, having featured in each of Leganes' previous four Copa del Rey matches.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper may be shielded by a back five of Adria Altimira, Valentin Rosier, Matija Nastasic, Gonzalez and Juan Cruz.

Renato Tapia is set to take Cisse's place in the engine room, and he is joined in midfield by Dani Raba, Yvan Neyou and Oscar Rodriguez.

Up front, Miguel de la Fuente is set to return to the starting lineup, with Munir El Haddadi expected to drop to the bench for the last-eight fixture.

Leganes possible starting lineup: Soriano; Altimira, Rosier, Gonzalez, Nastasic, Cruz; Raba, Neyou, Tapia, Rodriguez; De la Fuente
