How Real Madrid could line up against Osasuna

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

Real Madrid will be aiming to continue their impressive run of form in La Liga when they travel to Osasuna on Saturday night.

Zinedine Zidane's side have won seven of their last eight in the league to rise into second position in the table, just two points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

Diego Simeone's team have two games in hand over their rivals, though, and therefore Los Blancos still have a lot of work to do if they are to take charge of first position.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Madrid could line up against Osasuna.

Madrid will again be without the services of Rodrygo Goes due to a hamstring problem, but Sergio Ramos has overcome the stomach issue that forced him to miss out against Celta.

Ramos will be back in the XI on Saturday, but there will have to be an alteration at the back as Dani Carvajal is suspended due to the booking that he picked up in the Spanish capital.

Nacho and Alvaro Odriozola are options for the right-back spot, but Lucas Vazquez could drop into that position, allowing Vinicius Junior to feature in the final third alongside Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.

Zidane is allegedly closely monitoring Eden Hazard's fitness and will not take any chances with the Belgium international, meaning that he is likely to be on the bench once again.

Federico Valverde and Martin Odegaard are options for change in midfield, but Casemiro, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are again expected to be the central three for the reigning champions.
