Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will miss the services of his Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard and midfielder Dani Ceballos in this game. However, he would not spend too much time obsessing over them as the trio had failed in cementing their spot in starting XI this season. The biggest concern for Ancelotti is the unavailability of his young Brazilian attacker Rodrygo.
Four Athletic players Dani Vivian, Asier Villalibre, Peru Nolaskoain and Yuri Berchiche have been sidelined from this game with injuries. Bilbao’s Spanish defender Inigo Martinez will sit out from this game after picking up a red card during the dying minutes against Granada.
