Real Madrid will again be without the services of David Alaba for Saturday's La Liga contest with Osasuna at Bernabeu.
Alaba has missed his side's last two matches against Girona and Napoli due to a groin problem, and he remains on the sidelines for the game with Osasuna.
Los Blancos are also without the services of two more centre-backs, as Eder Militao is a long-term absentee due to a serious knee injury, while Nacho is suspended due to his red card in the 3-0 victory over Girona in the league last weekend, which could lead to Ferland Mendy featuring in that area of the field.
Real Madrid will also again be missing Thibaut Courtois (knee) and Arda Guler (thigh), but the team did not pick up any fresh fitness issues in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Napoli in the Champions League.
Fran Garcia is likely to return to the side at left-back, with Mendy in the middle alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Eduardo Camavinga has recently been used at left-back but could now be moved into central midfield, with Toni Kroos potentially dropping to the bench.
Jude Bellingham scored his eighth goal of the campaign against Napoli and will again play as the number 10 behind a likely front two of Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior.
Rodrygo has only scored once this season but is expected to again be given the nod over Joselu despite the fact that the Spaniard has four league goals to his name in 2023-24.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Mendy, F Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Vinicius, Rodrygo
