Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up against Girona in La Liga on Saturday evening.

Real Madrid will need to assess the fitness of Antonio Rudiger before making a decision on his involvement in Saturday's top-of-the-table contest with Girona.

Rudiger was unable to face Atletico Madrid last weekend due to a thigh problem which he suffered against Getafe on February 1, and a decision on his fitness will not be made until Saturday morning.

Vinicius Junior, meanwhile, withdrew from the starting XI at the last moment against Atletico, with the Brazil international having neck pain, but he is fit to return this weekend.

No risks will be taken with either ahead of next week's Champions League last-16 first leg with RB Leipzig, although it is thought that the pair will be in the XI for the key fixture.

Should Rudiger make it, he is likely to be joined in the middle of the defence by Aurelien Tchouameni, who is available again following a suspension.

Nacho has been ruled out, with the experienced defender unable to train this week due to a muscular problem, but he will be available for the clash with Leipzig.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti could name the same midfield from the clash with Atletico, but Brahim Diaz is set to drop out of the attack to allow Vinicius to return.

Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are making strong progress in their long recoveries from ACL injuries, but the pair will again miss out this weekend alongside long-term absentee David Alaba.

Eduardo Camavinga picked up a knock against Atletico but has trained this week and is expected to be included in the starting XI against the team currently second in the table.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Carvajal, Rudiger, Tchouameni, Mendy; Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius
