Luka Modric was not involved against Granada on Wednesday due to a muscular problem that he picked up against Eibar last weekend. The issue is not believed to be serious, though, and there is a strong chance that the Croatian could be back in the starting XI on December 30.

Madrid do not have any players suspended for the clash with Elche.
