Cristiano Ronaldo will not be Real Madrid's only absentee for Saturday's clash at Rayo Vallecano, as Casemiro and Dani Carvajal have both been confirmed for the casualty list.
Ronaldo is set to miss his first league match of the season after straining his right thigh during Wednesday's game against Villarreal. The 31-year-old had played every minute of La Liga action until he was forced off in the final seconds of Real's 3-0 win against Villareal.
Casemiro picked up his fifth yellow card on Wednesday, earning him an automatic one-match suspension.
Finally, right-back Carvajal was injured against Getafe, and coach Zinedine Zidane said that the defender is not in his full fitness yet.
