How Real Madrid could line up against Osasuna

Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Sunday afternoon's La Liga clash with Osasuna.

Real Madrid will be looking to make it five straight La Liga victories when they travel to Osasuna on Sunday.

Zinedine Zidane's side are currently three points clear of second-placed Barcelona at the top of the table, while they have only lost once in Spain's top flight this season.

Los Blancos will enter this weekend's contest off the back of a disappointing result, though, having suffered a 4-3 loss to Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the capital outfit could line up against Osasuna.


POSS RM XI vs. OSA

Out: Eden Hazard (ankle), Marco Asensio (knee)
Doubtful: Gareth Bale (ankle), Casemiro (illness), Lucas Vazquez (illness), Dani Carvajal (knock)

Madrid will again be without the services of both Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio, although the two attackers continue to make positive progress in their recoveries from long-term injuries.

Casemiro and Lucas Vazquez are both expected to overcome illness to start this weekend, while Dani Carvajal should shake off the knock that kept him out of the defeat to Sociedad.

Gareth Bale is believed to be in the latter stages of his recovery from an ankle issue, although it seems unlikely that the Wales international will be handed a starting role on Sunday.

Instead, Isco is battling the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes for a spot in the final third, while Luka Modric and Toni Kroos could keep out Federico Valverde in midfield.

The fact that Marcelo played the full 90 minutes against Sociedad while Ferland Mendy was left on the bench also suggests that the latter will get the nod at left-back for this contest.

Meanwhile, Raphael Varane and Thibaut Courtois will also return to the side.
