Real Madrid will be without the services of seven first-team players for Saturday's La Liga contest with Granada at Bernabeu.

Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois are all currently on the sidelines through injury.

Meanwhile, Luka Modric will again miss out with a thigh problem, but the experienced midfielder has a chance of being back for the team's next match with Real Betis on December 9.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is back in the squad after recovering from a thigh issue of his own, but Andriy Lunin will again be given the nod between the sticks here.

There was concern over Rodrygo when the Brazil international limped off in the latter stages of Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Italian giants Napoli in the Champions League.

However, the forward, who has netted braces in his last two La Liga appearances, was only suffering with cramp, and he will be fit to start here.

There will also be another appearance for Jude Bellingham, who has managed 15 goals and four assists in his first 16 matches for the side currently at the top of La Liga, with the ankle issue that forced him to cut Friday's training session short not keeping him out.

Despite the team's injury problems, head coach Carlo Ancelotti has options for change, and he could introduce Lucas Vazquez, Nacho and Joselu into the starting side for this weekend's match.

Nico Paz, meanwhile, scored his first senior goal for the club against Napoli, and the 19-year-old will be hoping to be involved in some capacity against the team currently 19th in the table.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Vazquez, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Kroos, Ceballos; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Joselu
