Osasuna vs Real Madrid. Predicted line-ups and latest news
On March 16, La Liga leader Real Madrid will play against Osasuna away in the 29th round. Dailysports has prepared the latest news for you regarding the match, as well as the possible lineups for both teams.
For the second consecutive La Liga match, the league's top scorer and Real Madrid's leader, Jude Bellingham, will be absent. The English midfielder is serving a two-match suspension for a red card received in the controversial ending of the match against Valencia (2-2). However, Real Madrid managed to secure a victory over Celta (4-0) in the previous round even without Bellingham.
The participation of central midfielder Dani Ceballos, who could have played in Bellingham's position, is questionable due to muscle discomfort.
Real Madrid continues to recover key players from cruciate ligament injuries such as Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militao.
Osasuna, coming off a defeat against Girona (0-2) in the previous round, will be without their main talent, 22-year-old central midfielder Aimar Oroz, due to a minor injury.
However, Osasuna's biggest loss is their captain and central defender of the Spanish national team, David Garcia. The 30-year-old player will miss the game due to a muscle injury.
Additionally, Osasuna will be without central defender Ruben Pena and forward Kike Barja.
Osasuna's possible line-up
- Sergio Herrera - Areso, Unai Garcia, Alejandro Catena, Jorge Herrando, Mojica - Torro, Moncayola, Moi Gomez - Ruben Garcia, Budimir
Real Madrid's possible line-up
- Lunin - Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho Fernandez, Mendy - Valverde, Tchouaméni, Kroos, Brahim Diaz - Rodrigo, Vinicius Junior
The match kicks off at 16:15 CET.
