Real Madrid return to La Liga action on Saturday evening when they play host to Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, Los Blancos must now switch their attention back to league matters as they bid to chase down Barcelona's 11-point lead at the top of the standings with nine games remaining.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming Celta Vigo to the Bernabeu, their opponents down in 12th position.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: April 22 (vs. Celta Vigo)
While Karim Benzema lasted longer than Alaba at Stamford Bridge, his injury will be more concerning to Ancelotti who says that the Frenchman was carrying a foot issue which got worse throughout the game. As it stands, Benzema will be assessed ahead of the weekend, but he was been named in the initial squad.
