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

Real Madrid will be looking to record their 15th La Liga victory of the 2021-22 campaign when they travel to Getafe on January 2.

Carlo Ancelotti's side saw a 10-game winning run come to an end on December 19 when they were held to a goalless draw by Cadiz at the Bernabeu, but they returned to winning ways last time out by beating Athletic Bilbao.

Los Blancos are currently top of the La Liga table, eight points clear of second-placed Sevilla, while they are now 17 clear of reigning champions Atletico Madrid.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Getafe, who are currently 16th in the table.
