Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Celta Vigo

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

Real Madrid will be looking to make it back-to-back La Liga victories when they take on Celta Vigo at the newly-refurbished Bernabeu on Sunday night.

Los Blancos have taken seven points from their first three league matches of the season to sit top of the table, level on points with five other teams, including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti's side entered the international break off the back of a 1-0 win over Real Betis, with Dani Carvajal scoring the only goal of the contest in Seville.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their battle with Celta.
