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

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 win against Sevilla to move into second in La Liga on Sunday night.

Karim Benzema's second-half header preserved Los Blancos' unbeaten - yet disappointing - start to the campaign and they are now only behind Athletic Bilbao on goal difference.

Zinedine Zidane's side were keen to make amends for their humbling in France, having lost 3-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

They will hope to build some momentum now as they host Osasuna, who are also unbeaten, but have drawn their last four games since winning on opening day.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the match.

The Croatian was thought to have an outside chance of recovering from the injury he sustained on international duty in time to face Sevilla, but it now seems more likely that he will be rested in the hopes of featuring against Atletico Madrid, although it is more likely that he will only return to full fitness early next month.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Neck Possible return date: September 28 (vs. Atletico Madrid)

Marcelo, like Modric, is likely to sit the next game out in the hopes that he can recover from his neck injury in time to play in the Madrid derby. He seems to have a better chance of featuring than the Croatian.

Zidane has no suspension issues heading into the game at the Santiago Bernabeu.
