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

Real Madrid host Levante in their first game following the international break having taken only five points from their opening three La Liga fixtures.

Zinedine Zidane's side were held to a draw last time out against Villarreal and they have since seen summer signing Luka Jovic aggravate an existing injury while playing for Serbia.

With the first round of Champions League games looming, Real will be looking to register another win against a Levante side currently fourth in the table after winning their last two games.
