Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Athletic Bilbao

Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao.

Real Madrid will be determined to take the La Liga title race to the final day as they prepare to travel to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday evening.

Zinedine Zidane's side beat Granada 4-1 on Thursday to move above Barcelona into second position in the table, two points behind leaders Atletico Madrid with two games left.

Los Blancos will surely need to win their final two fixtures of the season and hope that Atletico drop points against either Osasuna or Real Valladolid in order to finish at the summit.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their battle with Athletic.

Lucas Vazquez sustained a serious knee injury in El Clasico last month, and the experienced attacker might have played his final match for the club as he will miss the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign.


Dani Carvajal

Raphael Varane suffered an abductor problem before the Champions League semi-final second leg with Chelsea, and he again missed out against Granada, but there is a chance that the centre-back could be back this weekend.

Sergio Ramos, who has still not signed a new contract with Madrid, was again absent against Granada on Thursday evening due to a hamstring problem, which is also likely to rule him out of this weekend's contest.
