Real Madrid hosts Villarreal with Rüdiger as its only fully fit center-back

Real Madrid welcomes Villarreal on Saturday with Antonio Rüdiger as its sole fully fit central defender, following a derby loss and a series of defensive injuries.

• Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Atlético Madrid in the capital derby, with Dean Huijsen sent off before Atlético scored twice.
• Huijsen's suspension and Asencio's injury leave Rüdiger as the only fully fit center-back for the Villarreal match.
• Konaté is still recovering from a knee injury, while Militão nears a return after more than six months out.
• Mbappé has returned to individual training after a knee injury with France and may be available against Villarreal.
