  /  autty

After struggling to break down Osasuna's solid defence at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday and failing to grab all three points on home soil, Real Madrid will try to get back to winning ways in their game away at Elche on Saturday afternoon.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are currently sitting second in the LaLiga Santander table with one game in hand after drawing 0-0 with Osasuna in midweek.

Luka Modric has trained normally with the rest of his teammates and is expected to return to the starting line-up after missing out on the Osasuna due to a muscle issue.

Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos and Fede Valverde are all sidelined due to injury, but Isco has fully recovered and trained with the group on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Ancelotti is expected to field the starting line-up that he used against Osasuna, with Luka Modric taking Eduardo Camavinga's spot in the starting XI.

As for Elche, Pablo Piatti could be the only absentee due to a knock so coach Fran Escriba is expected to have the rest of the squad at his disposal for Saturday's clash.
