Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Atletico Madrid

Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their Copa del Rey last-16 clash with Atletico Madrid on Thursday.

Fresh from storming to Supercopa de Espana glory, Real Madrid seek to further their chances of winning more silverware when they tackle Madrid derby foes Atletico Madrid in Thursday's tantalising Copa del Rey last-16 tie.

Carlo Ancelotti's side conquered Riyadh with a 4-1 crushing of Barcelona on Sunday evening, where a brilliant Vinicius Junior hat-trick and late Rodrygo effort propelled Los Blancos to their 13th Super Cup crown.

Prior to their successful Saudi Arabian sojourn, Real claimed a comfortable 3-1 win over Arandina in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey, but a far sterner test of their credentials now awaits.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Atletico, whom they sunk 5-3 in an absorbing Supercopa de Espana semi-final.

First-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has spent the last few months recuperating from the severe knee injury he picked up in the summer, although there is some optimism that he could be back in action in March.
