Real Madrid travel to Huesca on Saturday looking to get back to winning ways following their latest defeat to Levante last week, but Zinedine Zidane has a small squad to choose from.
The coach has just 17 players at his disposal following the announcement that Sergio Ramos and Isco would not be available for the fixture.
Los Blancos' captain is out due to discomfort in his left knee and the former Malaga player dropped out at the last minute due to back trouble, forcing Zidane to call on youngsters Victor Chust and Marvin Park.
Zidane has lost eight players in the last month, when counting injuries, suspensions and loan departures: Ramos, Lucas Vazquez, Fede Valverde, Eden Hazard, Eder Militao, Isco, Luka Jovic and Martin Odegaard.
Problems in defence
The red card to Militao against Levante sees Zidane has limited options at the back. He has Raphael Varane and Nacho available to cover the central roles, and Alvaro Odriozola, Marcelo and Ferland Mendy as his available full backs.
For the hosts, it might just be the best time to face the reigning LaLiga Santander champions.
The arrival of Pacheta has sparked a positive response, with Huesca managing four points from their last three games, and now find themselves just three points from safety.

Injuries must never be used as an excuse. Each team registers so many players. Coaches must be blamed for not doing their jobs correctly. A lot of players have left Madrid because they were never given time to show what the are able to do.
