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

Real Madrid will be looking to build on Wednesday's impressive 5-0 win over Leganes when they welcome Real Betis to the Bernabeu this weekend.

Zinedine Zidane's side put five unanswered goals past Leganes to move into second position in La Liga, just one point off leaders Barcelona with both teams having played 10 matches.

Los Blancos have only managed back-to-back league wins on one occasion this season, though, and the capital giants will be determined to put another three points on the board on Saturday night.

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

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: November 2 (vs. Real Betis)

Gareth Bale picked up a calf problem during Wales's Euro 2020 qualifier with Croatia earlier this month, which has seen him miss Madrid's last three matches in all competitions. The attacker could be available this weekend, though, as the issue is not believed to be serious.

Madrid have no players suspended for this match and will welcome back Spanish defender Alvaro Odriozola, who was unavailable to face Leganes as he served a one-game ban.
