Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Granada

Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Granada on Wednesday evening.

Real Madrid will be looking to win their sixth game on the bounce in all competitions when they welcome Granada to the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano for Wednesday's La Liga encounter.

Zinedine Zidane's men eased to a 3-1 win over Eibar at the weekend - their fourth-top flight victory in a row - and the La Liga champions are level on points with current leaders Atletico Madrid, having played two games fewer than their local rivals.

Real sit second at this moment in time, with leaders Atletico set to take on third-placed Real Sociedad on Tuesday, so Los Blancos could be heading into Christmas at the top of the pile or as low as third depending on results in midweek.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's visit of Granada.


Eden Hazard

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: December 23 (vs. Granada)

The injury-plagued Eden Hazard has spent nearly a month on the sidelines with a muscular issue, and while Hazard is now back in training, Zidane did not risk him for the weekend's win over Eibar. The attacker is still considered a doubt, but he has a chance of lining up in Real's final home match of 2020.


Luka Modric

Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: December 30 (vs. Elche)

Luka Modric was taken off with 20 minutes remaining against Eibar due to a muscular problem in his leg. The midfielder did not take part in training on Monday and will undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury, but Modric will definitely not be involved in this one.


Vinicius Junior

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Gastroenteritis
Possible return date: December 23 (vs. Granada)

Brazilian attacker Vinicius Junior was forced to sit out the win over Eibar with gastroenteritis, Zidane confirmed. However, the 20-year-old has been pictured in training since and could be back in time for Wednesday's game.


Isco

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: December 23 (vs. Granada)

Out-of-favour midfielder Isco was another notable absentee from the squad to face Eibar, with the midfielder nursing a knock to the ankle. Isco's injury is not thought to be too serious, but whether or not he would start if fully fit is another question entirely.

Real Madrid have no players suspended for this game.
