Real Madrid will be looking to build on last weekend's Clasico win over Barcelona when they continue their 2020-21 La Liga campaign at home to Huesca on Saturday afternoon.
Los Blancos picked up a 3-1 victory at Camp Nou last Saturday to move onto 13 points in the table, which is enough for second spot at this stage of the season.
Zinedine Zidane's side were also in Champions League action on Tuesday night, coming from two goals behind to pick up a point in a 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Huesca, who are currently 18th in Spain's top flight after a tough start to the season.

Madrid could again be without the services of Mariano Diaz for this match as the forward recently underwent surgery for tonsillitis, which saw him lose eight kilograms in weight during the recovery progress. Diaz has now returned to training but is still working his way back to full fitness.
