Official: Real Madrid squad list to face Osasuna | La Liga MD 25 | OneFootball

Real Madrid will have an excellent opportunity to stretch their lead at the top of the La Liga table when they take on CA Osasuna on Saturday night.

The Merengues opened up a two-point lead in the last matchday after winning against Real Sociedad, with Barcelona falling to a defeat against Girona.

Ahead of the trip to El Sadar, manager Alvaro Arbeloa has released the squad list of players available at his disposal for selection.

Thiago Pitarch, who made his first-team debut for Real Madrid against Benfica earlier this week, has been included in the squad list for another game by the head coach.

Meanwhile, Raul Asencio, who missed the midweek clash in Portugal due to suspension, returns to the squad and is likely to start as well, considering that Dean Huijsen has been ruled out with a calf injury.

Jude Bellingham, Eder Militao, and Rodrygo Goes all remain unavailable due to injuries as well. Youngsters Joan Martinez and Jorge Cestero, who were called up against Benfica, have been left out.

All eyes, however, will be on Vinicius Jr. to see how he responds on the pitch after the racism incident targeting him during the game against Benfica.
