Real Madrid will be without several important players for the trip to Valencia. Vinícius Júnior is still suspended for domestic action and will miss the final match of his four-game ban, meaning Yan Diomande is likely to continue on the left wing.
The visitors also have long-term absentees in Rodrygo, who is recovering from a knee injury, Ferland Mendy, who has a hip and thigh problem, and Raúl Asencio, who is sidelined with a leg injury.
There is better news in midfield, as Aurélien Tchouaméni and Arda Güler return to the matchday squad after being rested for the Champions League game against AEK Athens.
