Real Madrid v Leganes - Preview and possible lineups

Real Madrid: Isco and Dani Carvajal will both sit this one out as they face a race against time to recover from shoulder and ankle injuries respectively in time for the return leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu next week. Defender Nacho also remains sidelined, with Zinedine Zidane likely to make a host of changes for this one as he looks to keep his side fresh.

Leganes: Alex Szymanowski (muscle problem), Ezequiel Muñoz (illness) and Omar Ramos (unspecified) will all miss out, whilst talismanic defender Martin Mantovani is a doubt with a calf problem.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane:

"We could start the game strong, but tomorrow the idea is to put in a good performance in terms of the intensity it can cause problems for the opponents.

"On top of that we'll have to maintain out concentration because they're a good team and do things well. We must control what they do well and play our football.

"Everything is valuable and you can't choose between titles. We can only win the Champions League, but tomorrow we're playing in the league and we want to finish well. It's not unimportant. We must do well and do our best. Then on Tuesday, we're a game from the final and that means a lot to us".

Leganes boss Asier Garitano on avoiding relegation:

"We know the difficulty and we need a point for the target, it's a big stadium and a big rival, we have to play a great game. This game gives us the possibility, let's go for it, we don't have other mentality.

"If you have had a problem with a player, it is normal that they will take care of it, but we are talking about Real Madrid, it is a great team, they will be the best version because they are very plugged in."
