Gironavs.Real Madrid

Viktor Tsygankov, Yaser Asprilla and Yangel Herrera are all unavailable for selection, but Gabriel Misehouy made his return off the bench in the Copa del Rey last time out.

The Catalan outfit were shocked by fourth-tier outfit UD Logrones on Wednesday night, losing on penalties in the second round of the competition after a goalless draw, and a number of squad players were unable to make their mark.

Head coach Michel will make a number of changes to the side that started against UD Lugrones, with Ivan Martin, Arnau Martinez, Donny van de Beek and Bojan Miovski set to return to the XI.

Miovski has two goals and two assists in nine La Liga appearances this season, and the 25-year-old is set to lead the line.

Bryan Gil, who is on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, is set to feature in a wide position, while there is also expected to be a spot in the side for Arnaut Danjuma, who is yet to get off the mark for Michel's side.

Van de Beek has worked his way into the Girona side after a slow start to the campaign, and the former Manchester United midfielder is again set to operate as the number 10 for the Champions League outfit this weekend.

Girona possible starting lineup: Gazzaniga; A Martinez, D Lopez, Krejci, Gutierrez; Martin, Romeu; Gil, Van de Beek, Danjuma; Miovski
