Zidane's had to turn to the reserve team to be able to name substitutes for Tuesday's league match

Real Madrid have just 13 first-team players available for Tuesday's rearranged La Liga game against Getafe at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium.

Zinedine Zidane has been forced to call up a number of B team players in order to name a 19-man squad for the league fixture.

The 19 are:

Courtois, Lunin, Altube; Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Mendy, Chust, Miguel, Modric, Casemiro, Isco, Marvin, Arribas, Blanco, Benzema, Asensio, Vinicius and Mariano.

Of the 13 first-team players, just 11 of them are outfield players, with Madrid struggling to put together a side due to an injury crisis at the club.

In addition to injured players, Madrid are also missing midfielder Toni Kroos, who is suspended after collecting five yellow cards this season.

Sergio Ramos, Eden Hazard, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Fede Valverde, Lucas Vázquez and Rodrygo are all missing through injury.
