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

Real Madrid will be looking to recover from back-to-back defeats when they resume their 2020-21 La Liga season away to Sevilla on Saturday afternoon.

Los Blancos are currently fourth in Spain's top flight, seven points behind league leaders Real Sociedad, although they do have a game in hand on the Basque club.
