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

Real Madrid will be looking to make it seven straight wins in all competitions this season when they travel to Atletico Madrid for the Madrid derby on Sunday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have put five straight wins on the board in La Liga at the beginning of the new campaign, which has left them top of the table on 15 points, already eight points ahead of seventh-placed Atletico, who have a game in hand.

Los Blancos will enter this contest off the back of a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin in their Champions League opener, meanwhile, with Jude Bellingham netting a last-gasp winner in Madrid.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Atletico, who have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four league games this term.
