Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Celta Vigo

Real Madrid injury, suspension list vs. Celta Vigo

Real Madrid will be looking to win their second successive La Liga match of the new season when they face Celta Vigo on Saturday evening.

On paper, the defending champions had been handed a routine start in the form of a trip to Almeira on the opening weekend, but the newly-promoted outfit led Los Blancos at the hour mark.

However, Carlo Ancelotti witnessed his team overturn that deficit to post a 2-1 victory, gaining an immediate edge over Barcelona who could only draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the visit to Estadio de Balaidos.


Real Madrid went into last weekend's fixture with a clean bill of health, and that currently remains the case ahead of their second domestic outing of the season. On the back of the UEFA Super Cup victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, Ancelotti opted to make a number of alterations to his side in order to manage the output of some of his players during the early weeks of the campaign. David Alaba and Casemiro were among those to drop out of the team, but they all made substitute appearances in the second half against Almeira. Midfielders Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni were both replaced before the hour mark, although that was due to Ancelotti being dissatisfied with their respective performances rather than an injury.
