How Real Madrid could line up against Las Palmas

The England international has been in outstanding form during his first season at Bernabeu, scoring 18 goals and registering eight assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.

Bellingham has 14 goals and three assists in La Liga this term, but the 20-year-old's late booking in the 3-2 win over Almeria last weekend means that he is suspended for this clash.

Real Madrid will again be without the services of Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba due to long-term knee problems.

However, there are no fitness concerns ahead of this match, with the team not in action since last weekend due to their elimination in the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has plenty of options for change in midfield, with Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga pushing to come into the XI, but it would not be a surprise to see the duo remain on the bench.

There is a strong chance that Ancelotti will make just the one change from the team that started against Almeria, with Brahim Diaz potentially being the replacement for Bellingham.

Lucas Vazquez returned to the bench last time out after a spell out with a hamstring problem, but Dani Carvajal has been in outstanding form this season and will continue at right-back.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Kroos; Diaz; Vinicius, Rodrygo
