Real Madrid with two significant shortcomings facing Espanyol

Luka Modric and Ferland Mendy will not be available to Zinedin Zidane for the weekend match in front of Espanyol.

With yellow cartoons against Croatian and French Mallorca now collecting five cartons during the season, they will be suspended for the duel in Cornella.

Casemiro will return after his suspension against Mallorca, and Tony Croos, who came as substitute in the second half, is likely to begin.

Marcelo will then enter the Mendy country, since the two have been in rotation since the beginning of the La League.
