Real Madrid have a tricky game at El Sadar this weekend, only three days before their Champions League trip to Liverpool.
It’s a difficult balancing act for Carlo Ancelotti in terms of selection as he really can’t afford to see his side lose any more ground to Barcelona in the title race, but he’ll have one eye on a huge game on Merseyside.
Osasuna will be hoping to take advantage of that distraction but they’ll be forced into a few changes of their own with both Chimy Avila and Juan Cruz picking up their 5th bookings last time out.
Cruz’s absence isn’t a major problem with David Garcia available again to return in central defence but Avila remains their most dangerous attacking weapon and will be missed.
