Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has a number of selection problems heading into Wednesday's Clasico showdown against Barcelona.
Iker Casillas (broken hand) and Pepe (ankle) are out, meaning Antonio Adan and new signing Diego Lopez battle it out in goal, while Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao and Angel Di Maria all serve suspensions.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start despite hurting his ankle in Sunday's 4-0 win over Getafe.
Gerard Pique returns from suspension for Barcelona, who have a fully-fit squad at their disposal.
Jordi Alba, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas are all likely to be recalled to the starting XI after they were rested for the weekend victory over Osasuna.
DID YOU KNOW?
Real Madrid are on a 31-match unbeaten run at the Santiago Bernabeu in all competitions (W26, D5).
The Castilian side have won just one of their last eight home encounters against Barcelona (W1, D2, L5).
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th goal at the Bernabeu in the win over Getafe to take his overall tally for Real to 179 in 176 matches.
Barcelona have won eight of their last nine away matches across all competitions.
The Blaugrana ran out 4-3 aggregate winners in last season's Copa del Rey semi-final against Blancos.
Pedro is in line to make his 200th appearance for Barca.
Prediction
This is arguably Madrid's biggest game of the season so far. They have struggled to find any sort of consistency in La Liga and if they can beat Barcelona, it will provide a massive lift for the rest of their season. However, the visitors are in devastating form in front of goal and may prove too much for Blancos' second-string back line.
