Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Rayo Vallecano

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

Real Madrid will be looking to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Bernabeu in La Liga on Saturday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side recorded a 2-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Wednesday night to rise to the top of Group D with nine points.

The capital giants also triumphed in the league last weekend, beating Elche 2-1, which has left them in second position in the table, one point behind leaders Real Sociedad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Rayo, who are currently seventh in Spain's top flight after making an encouraging start.
