Real Madrid square off against Real Betis on Sunday evening looking to maintain first spot in the La Liga standings.

After two games without a win in Spain's top flight, goals from Vinicius Junior and Mariano Diaz earned Los Blancos a 2-0 victory over Barcelona last weekend.

Although Zinedine Zidane's team will drop into second place if Barca defeat Real Sociedad a day earlier, victory at the Benito Villamarin Stadium will ensure that they remain with an advantage over their fierce rivals.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest in Seville.

Possible return date: Unknown

Hazard limped off during last month's clash with Levante having suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury. The Belgium international was playing for just the second time since returning from a long-term problem, but Zidane has admitted that the attacker could now miss the remainder of the season after fracturing the same area.
