How Real Madrid could line up against Huesca

How Real Madrid could line up against Huesca

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's surprise loss to Levante when they continue their La Liga season away to Huesca on Saturday afternoon.

Zinedine Zidane's side went down 2-1 to Levante in Madrid last time out and are now third in the La Liga table, some 10 points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, who also have a game in hand.

Los Blancos have actually lost three of their last four matches in all competitions but will be the overwhelming favourites to overcome a Huesca side currently at the bottom of the division.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Madrid could line up this weekend.


Out: Eder Militao (suspended), Eden Hazard (muscle), Federico Valverde (muscle), Rodrygo Goes (hamstring), Sergio Ramos (knee), Lucas Vazquez (muscle), Dani Carvajal (muscle) Doubtful: Nacho (fitness)

Madrid will again be far from at full strength this weekend due to a number of injuries, with Eden Hazard, who has picked up another muscular problem, joining Federico Valverde and Rodrygo Goes on the sidelines.

Eder Militao is suspended, meanwhile, due to the red card that he picked up against Levante last time out, but there could be a return at the heart of the defence for Nacho, who has now tested negative for coronavirus after a period of isolation, with the Spaniard back in training on Thursday.

Lucas Vazquez, Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal are also all unavailable for selection through injury, meaning that Alvaro Odriozola should continue at right-back.

Hazard's absence means that there will have to be a change in the final third, and Vinicius Junior is the favourite to join Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema as part of a front three.

There are not expected to be any surprises in the middle of the park, though, with Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric set to feature once again.
