Sevilla vs Real Madrid lineups: Confirmed team news, predicted XIs and latest injury updates

Real Madrid welcome back captain Sergio Ramos for Sunday's La Liga game away to Sevilla.

Ramos took a knock to his calf in last weekend's 3-2 win at home to Levante and was substituted in the second half of that game.

The centre-back, who started his career at Sevilla, also missed Madrid's 3-0 defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday due to suspension.

The 33-year-old should return to the starting line-up at the Sanchez Pizjuan, where Ferland Mendy will play again on the left as Marcelo continues to recover from injury.​

Fede Valverde is available again, meaning Madrid have four fit midfielders now and the Uruguayan could feature from the outset if Zidane opts for a more defensive-minded line-up.

Luka Modric and Isco are still sidelined, while Marco Asensio is out with a long-term injury.

Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema are likely to start together in attack and will hope for a better night after their midweek struggles at the Parc des Princes.

Possible Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, James; Bale, Benzema, Hazard
