Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Club Brugge

Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Club Brugge.

Real Madrid will head into Wednesday's Champions League clash with Club Brugge under little pressure having already booked their spot in the next round of the competition.

A total of eight points from five matches has left Los Blancos second in Group A, five points clear of third-placed Brugge heading into Wednesday's contest.

The capital giants cannot finish top of the section due to Paris Saint-Germain's excellent form, meaning that Zinedine Zidane is expected to take the opportunity to rest a number of key players.

That said, Madrid currently have a number of individuals on the treatment table, meaning that the winter break in Spain will come at a good time for the club.

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


Marco Asensio

Possible return date: Unknown

Marco Asensio faces a battle to play again this season after suffering a serious knee injury during the team's preparations for the 2019-20 campaign. A timeframe on his return has not yet been set by the club.
