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

Real Madrid make the trip to Levante having had their lead at the top of the La Liga standings reduced to just one point.

Zinedine Zidane's side had appeared on course to edge out Celta Vigo at the Bernabeu on Sunday, only for the visitors to net a late equaliser.

With this fixture taking place after Barcelona's home clash with Eibar, Los Blancos could find themselves back in second spot before kickoff at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.
