Real Madrid will look to get the upper hand when they travel to the Reale Arena for the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final clash against Real Sociedad.

Los Blancos are the record winners of the competition after lifting the trophy on 20 occasions, including in 2022-23 when they beat Osasuna in the final.

Real Madrid eliminated fourth-tier Deportivo Minera, before they dispatched top-flight opposition in Celta Vigo and Leganes to set up a last-four meeting with Real Sociedad.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will head into the semi-final in a positive mood after recording a 2-0 victory in Sunday's home game against Girona, ensuring that they finished the weekend level on points with leaders Barcelona.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Real Sociedad, who cruised to a 3-0 victory over Leganes at the weekend.
