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

Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Villarreal.

Real Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome Villarreal to Bernabeu on Sunday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Betis last weekend, and they currently sit second in the table, two points behind leaders Girona.

Los Blancos will enter this match off the back of a win, though, beating Union Berlin 3-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday night to make it six victories from six matches in the section.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Villarreal, who are 13th in the division.
