Villarreal’s task on Sunday will be difficult thanks to both Madrid’s excellent home record, and the Yellow Submarine’s busy schedule. Villarreal played in the Europa League during the midweek, while Los Blancos have had a full week of rest and training following their win over Elche last weekend.
The trio of Sergio Ramos, James and Sami Khedira remain sidelined as they recover from various injuries, but Gareth Bale will be available. The Welsh winger had missed training most of the week after picking up a minor ankle injury. He was able to train on Friday though, and will be available for selection on Sunday. Luka Modrić, who has missed the last four months after hamstring surgery, is back training and could make the bench as well.
Villarreal will be without winger Denis Cheryshev because he's on loan from Madrid and can't play again his parent club.
