Sergio Ramos misses the trip to Galicia as a precaution after suffering a knock to his left tibia in the 3-1 win over Atalanta. The Real skipper only recently underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Casemiro replaces the 34-year-old in the only change from Tuesday's victory.

Celta also make one change to the team that drew 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao last weekend as captain Hugo Mallo comes in for Kevin Vazquez.

Celta Vigo XI: Villar, Mallo, Araujo, Murillo, Martin, Tapia, Mendez, Suarez, Nolito, Iago Aspas, Santa Mina

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Vazquez, Varane, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Vinicius Junior

It has been a good week for Zinedine Zidane.

The Frenchman's Real Madrid side revived their pursuit of La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid with victory over Elche last weekend before breezing past Atalanta in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Victory at Celta Vigo this afternoon would close the gap on Atleti to just three points.
