Real Madrid injury, suspension news vs. Arsenal: Thibaut Courtois, Ferland Mendy, Dani Ceballos updates

Sports Mole looks at Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Arsenal.

Real Madrid will be bidding to secure a first-leg advantage when they head to Arsenal for the first instalment of their quarter-final tie in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Los Blancos will enter the match off the back of a shock result, going down 2-1 at home to Valencia in La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have already knocked English opponents out of this season's European Cup, though, beating Manchester City in the knockout round playoffs, and they will now be looking to make yet another semi-final in the competition.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Arsenal, who will enter the match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Everton in the Premier League.
