Nacho Monreal and Carlos Fernandez are still sidelined for Real Sociedad. Artiz Elustondo is suspended for the welcome of Real Madrid. David Silva is a fresh blow. Mikel Oyarzabal may well move into the middle as a result. Dani Ceballos and Gareth Bale are both still injured. Marco Asensio is currently first choice on the right wing for Carlo Ancelotti. Lucas Vazquez did well in midweek and may continue at right-back here. Ancelotti would ideally rotate from midweek but this is a tough game.
