REAL MADRID INJURIES

Mateo Kovacic went off with an adductor injury against APOEL earlier in September and the Croatian midfielder is expected to be sidelined for up to two months.
Karim Benzema is also still out after picking up a muscle injury in the 1-1 draw at home to Levante.
In the meantime, Zidane is still without either of his first-choice left-backs as Marcelo and Theo Hernandez are both out with injuries.
Gareth Bale is doubtful, but the Welsh winger should be ready in time for Sunday's match.

REAL MADRID SUSPENSIONS

Cristiano Ronaldo recently returned from a five-match domestic ban, while Sergio Ramos and Marcelo have also served suspensions this season, but Real Madrid do not have any players suspended for the Espanyol game.

REAL MADRID POTENTIAL STARTING LINE-UP


With Marcelo and Theo Hernandez still out, Nacho will continue at left-back for Real Madrid.

Elsewhere, Marco Asensio could be in line for a start alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in attack after he signed a new long-term contract this week. If Zidane decides against fielding Bale, Isco is likely to feature instead.
In midfield, Dani Ceballos is set to start on the bench despite his heroics last weekend, when he scored both of Madrid's goals in the 2-1 win at Alaves.
