Zinedine Zidane has made two changes to the Real Madrid side that beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in midweek ahead of Sunday's La Liga meeting with Espanyol.

Dani Carvajal, who has been advised to spend time off due to a heart condition, drops out in defence along with forward Gareth Bale, who is not included in the squad due to muscle fatigue.

As for Espanyol, Pablo Piatti misses out, which sees Marc Roca come into a team which includes both Gerard Moreno and Leo Baptistao in the final third.
