How Real Madrid could line up against Alaves

Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Alaves.

Real Madrid will switch their attention back to La Liga on Saturday afternoon as they prepare to travel to Alaves.

Los Blancos were in Champions League action on Tuesday night, sharing the points with Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabeu as the French champions recovered from two goals behind to pick up a 2-2 draw.

Zinedine Zidane's side have won their last two in the league, though, and a draw or victory on Saturday would move them above Barcelona to the top of the table.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the capital giants could line up when they take to the field in Spain's top flight.


POSS RMA XI vs. ALA

Out: Marco Asensio (knee), James Rodriguez (knee), Lucas Vazquez (toe)
Doubtful: Nacho (knee), Eden Hazard (bruised leg)

There was a fear that Eden Hazard had picked up a potentially long-term injury during Tuesday's clash with PSG, but Madrid confirmed on Wednesday that the Belgium international had suffered just a bruised leg.

Hazard has not been officially ruled out of Saturday's contest, although it seems unlikely that Zidane will take a risk with the summer arrival.

Marco Asensio, James Rodriguez and Lucas Vazquez are also still on the sidelines, but Nacho has stepped up his recovery from a knee problem in recent days and could be involved this weekend.

Elsewhere, it seems likely that Zidane will shuffle his pack from the PSG clash, meaning that Luka Modric, Rodrygo Goes and Ferland Mendy could all come in.

Gareth Bale is also pushing for a start having been involved off the bench since returning from international duty, and Hazard's expected absence could open the door for the Wales international to feature.
