Real Madrid team news: Predicted 4-3-3 line up vs Real Betis – Bale and Rodriguez doubtful
Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez are among several stars who could miss Real Madrid's La Liga clash with Rea Betis at the Bernabeu this evening (8pm GMT).
Rodriguez was expected to link up with his team-mates once again on Friday but is unlikely to be included in the squad for this weekend’s clash.
However, Alvaro Odriozola is available after serving a suspension while Luka Modric made his comeback from injury off the bench on Wednesday.
And Zidane will have been further boosted by five different goalscorer finding the net in midweek, including summer signing Luka Jovic who bagged his first goal for Los Blancos.
But the Serbian will have to be content with a place on the bench yet again this weekend as Karim Benzema is currently first-choice at the Bernabeu.

Rodrygo was also on target against Leganes and appears to have moved above the likes of Lucas Vazquez, Vincius Junior and Isco in the pecking order after back-to-back starts.
Eden Hazard is an almost certain pick on the left flank while Modric could come back into the starting XI at the expense of Federico Valverde.
Casemiro and Toni Kroos will complete the midfield while Ferland Mendy is pushing to displace Marcelo at left-back.
Dani Carvajal should get the nod ahead of Odriozola on the opposite side of defence while Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos will line up ahead of Thibaut Courtois as Real search for their third consecutive victory in all competitions.
