Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Huesca

sportsmole.co.uk, 31 January 2021, 09:20

Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight following a shock defeat when they travel to Huesca on February 6.

Zinedine Zidane 's side suffered a 2-1 home loss to Levante on Saturday, which has left them seven points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, who now have two games in hand over their rivals.

Los Blancos have actually now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, and there will be pressure on Zidane to deliver a positive result against the strugglers.

Here, Sports Mole runs through all of Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Huesca, who are currently rooted to the bottom of the table.
