Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Athletic Bilbao

Los Blancos have shared the points in two of their last three matches, including a disappointing goalless draw away to struggling Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday.

The winner of Thursday's second semi-final will take on either Barcelona or Real Sociedad in the final of the competition on Sunday.
