However, pressure has been eased on the Madrid boss following his side's first win of this season's Champions League campaign against Galatasaray in Istanbul on Tuesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest injury and suspension news for Los Blancos ahead of the game.

Gareth Bale

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: October 30 (vs. Leganes)

The Welshman picked up a calf problem while on international duty with Wales this month and was left out of the squad to face Galatasaray, although this was only thought to have been precautionary, meaning that he is likely to return against Leganes.

Luka Modric

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: October 30 (vs. Leganes)

Much like Bale, the Croat picked up a strain over the international break and missed the games against Mallorca and Galatasaray, but he should return to the squad in time for next week's clash at the Bernabeu.

Lucas Vazquez

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: October 30 (vs. Leganes)

Vazquez has not featured for Madrid since the start of the month due to a calf problem but resumed training with the Los Blancos squad on Sunday, giving the attacking midfielder just over a week to recover full fitness ahead of this game.

REAL MADRID'S SUSPENSION LIST

Alvaro Odriozola

Return date: November 2 (vs. Real Betis)

The defender will serve a one-game domestic ban after picking up a second yellow card against Mallorca for a sacrificial challenge as Madrid were defending a counterattack.
