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

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's La Liga defeat to Getafe when they continue their league campaign at home to Valencia on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti's side saw a long unbeaten run in the league come to an end last time out, with table-topping Los Blancos struggling in their first match of 2022.

The capital giants managed to return to winning ways in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, though, as they recorded a 3-1 victory over Alcoyano to progress to the round of 16.
