Real Madrid will head into Wednesday's Champions League clash with Club Brugge under little pressure having already booked their spot in the next round of the competition.

A total of eight points from five matches has left Los Blancos second in Group A, five points clear of third-placed Brugge heading into Wednesday's contest.

The capital giants cannot finish top of the section due to Paris Saint-Germain's excellent form, meaning that Zinedine Zidane is expected to take the opportunity to rest a number of key players.

That said, Madrid currently have a number of individuals on the treatment table, meaning that the winter break in Spain will come at a good time for the club.

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