Real Madrid will be eyeing their fourth straight La Liga victory when they resume their 2020-21 campaign at home to newly-promoted Cadiz on Saturday night.
Los Blancos opened their title defence with a goalless draw with Real Sociedad but have since beaten Real Betis, Real Valladolid and Levante to move onto 10 points in the division.
Zinedine Zidane's side are the early leaders in Spain's top flight and will be looking for another three points ahead of their next league game away to Barcelona on October 24.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Cadiz, who have picked up seven points from their first five matches of the season.
