How Real Madrid could line up against Athletic Bilbao

Benzema was missing against Sevilla last weekend due to a nasty cut on his foot which he suffered during the 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano on May 24.

Vinicius, meanwhile, was absent due to knee inflammation, but the Brazil international is back in training ahead of this match and is widely expected to be in the side.

Benzema's future has been the subject of much speculation over the last couple of days, with various reports claiming that he has agreed a big-money move to Saudi Arabia, but he is expected to feature for Los Blancos on Sunday, potentially for the final time.

Mariano Diaz and Marco Asensio, who like Benzema only have deals until the end of June, are major fitness doubts for this match due to muscular issues.

However, Dani Carvajal will definitely be available after being forced to sit out the 2-1 win over Sevilla last weekend due to a suspension.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to make a number of changes for this match, which Real Madrid need to win to guarantee second position in the La Liga table, with Eduardo Camavinga and Antonio Rudiger also potentially coming into the XI.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Kroos, Camavinga, Valverde; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius
