Real Madrid: Real Madrid need to end a worrying run of away results in La Liga when they visit injury-hit Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday. The match is also brought forward due to the two sides playing in the Spanish Supercup in Saudi Arabia in January 2026, and will be played 24 hours after Barcelona host Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou.

Sunday's 1-1 draw in Girona - Real Madrid's third consecutive away league draw - has again raised doubts over the future of Xabi Alonso, but the coach will be happy to have Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, and Aurelien Tchouameni available again.

Athletic Bilbao has improved after some poor displays in the opening weeks of the season, with a 0-0 draw in Prague followed by a 2-0 win away to Levante on Saturday, reports Xinhua.
