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

Real Madrid will be looking to respond to their shock defeat against Real Betis at the weekend when they welcome Eibar to the Bernabeu on Friday.

Zinedine Zidane's men lost 2-1 at mid-table Betis to fall two points behind new La Liga leaders Barcelona with 11 games to go.

Madrid have a huge showdown with Manchester City to come in the Champions League next week, but Zidane cannot afford to prioritise that game over this clash with relegation-threatened Eibar.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest in the Spanish capital.

Eden Hazard limped off during last month's clash with Levante having suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury.
