Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti could name an unchanged side for Saturday's La Liga clash with Osasuna.

There is no change to the club's injury situation following Tuesday's 3-2 success over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, with Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Lucas Vazquez and Eder Militao all unavailable.

Federico Valverde is therefore expected to continue at right-back on Saturday afternoon, while it should once again be Raul Asencio alongside Aurelien Tchouameni in the middle of the defence.

Fran Garcia is an option at left-back, but it seems likely that Ferland Mendy will continue in the XI, while Dani Ceballos is expected to benefit from the absentees to feature in the middle of midfield once more.

Eduardo Camavinga is only just back from a fitness issue of his own, but he is expected to again be named in the XI, while Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior are set to operate behind Kylian Mbappe.

Luka Modric and Brahim Diaz are among those who will be in the thinking of Ancelotti when it comes to alterations, with the second leg of their Champions League knockout round playoff with Man City taking place next week.

However, Real Madrid cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in La Liga, which is expected to lead to Ancelotti naming his strongest available side against a solid Osasuna outfit.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Valverde, Tchouameni, Asencio, Mendy; Camavinga, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe
