"Real Madrid will hope to register their first win in four la Liga games when they visit Athletic Bilbao tonight. The pressure is starting to grow on Xabi Alonso following draws against Rayo Vallecano, Elche and, at the weekend, Girona. And with rumours of dressing room disharmony refusing to go away, the former Spain midfielder could do with a statement win at San Mames."
"Centre-back Unai Egiluz, midfielder Benat Prados and forward Maroan Sannadi are long-term absentees for Athletic Club, while defender Yeray Alvarez is serving a 10-month ban for taking a banned substance. Forward Inaki Williams is recuperating from a serious injury to the adductor longus muscle in his right leg and Oihan Sancet is serving the second and final match of his suspension for being sent off at Camp Nou, but fellow midfielder Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is available following a ban."
"Defenders Dani Carvajal and David Alaba are long-term absentees for Madrid but carried out indoor training on Monday alongside centre-back Dean Huijsen, who has missed two games with a knee niggle. Alonso makes two changes to the team that drew with Girona. Alvaro Carreras returns at left-back and Eduardo Camavinga comes into midfield. Fran Garcia and Arda Guler drop out."
Real Madrid travel to San Mamés aiming to end a run of three La Liga draws and claim their first win in four matches. Xabi Alonso faces increasing pressure after draws with Rayo Vallecano, Elche and Girona amid rumours of dressing-room disharmony. Athletic Bilbao sit eighth and seek consistency after a needed win at Levante. Athletic have long-term absentees including Unai Egiluz, Benat Prados and Maroan Sannadi, and Yeray Alvarez is banned for 10 months; Inaki Williams is recovering from a serious adductor injury and Oihan Sancet serves a suspension. Aymeric Laporte returns to the Athletic defence. Real Madrid remain without Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, with Dean Huijsen back in training, and Alonso brings Alvaro Carreras and Eduardo Camavinga into the starting lineup.
