Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Atalanta BC

Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Atalanta BC.

Real Madrid will take on Italian side Atalanta BC in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Wednesday evening.

Zinedine Zidane's side topped their Champions League group earlier this season, meanwhile, finishing ahead of Borussia Monchengladbach as Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan were both eliminated.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Atalanta, who reached the quarter-finals of last season's European Cup.
