The Real Madrid midfielder is a doubt for the match against Osasuna after straining his knee

Real Madrid they will be hoping to close out the international break with their seven-point lead over Girona in tact as they head to Pamplona to face Osasuna at El Sadar this Saturday. They seem as if they may miss one of their midfielders, like Dani Ceballos he missed training on Thursday.

Ace for Brand, Ceballos has a knee strain, and exercised in the gym a day before his final training session. Ceballos picked up an assist last week for Arda Guler against Celta Vigo but has seen just seven minutes of action in the last nine games. Los Blancos will already be missing David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao through injury, while Jude Bellingham is suspended. Osasuna will be without Kike Barja and Aimar Oroz due to injury.

Ceballos signed a four-year deal last summer, and was expected to contribute more this season after a strong finish last year, but the arrival of Jude Bellingham has helped Ceballos, as has Luka Modric , be relegated to the bank more than perhaps anticipated. . It may raise some questions about his future this summer, but he has always maintained his desire to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
