Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Atalanta BC

Real Madrid will be aiming to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they welcome Atalanta BC to the Spanish capital on Tuesday night.

Zinedine Zidane's side will also enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 victory over Elche in La Liga, which helped them move above Barcelona into second position in the table.
