PROBABLE LINEUPS |

GETAFE
 Moya Valera, Diaz, Torres, Masilela Rodriguez, Casquero Rios, Barrada, Gavilan Miku |
REAL MADRID
 Casillas Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Coentrao Granero, Alonso Ozil, Kaka, Ronaldo Benzema |
Getafe coach Luis Garcia Plaza will be forced to face free scoring Real Madrid with a makeshift defense on Saturday, as Rafa is sidelined through injury and Alberto Lopo is suspended.
Further up the pitch, there are major question marks over Michel's fitness, and with Dani Guiza also ruled out through suspension, Miku could play up front on his own against the league leader.
Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has returned to normal training after coming off with a muscular problem in Saturday's win over Real Zaragoza, and is likely to feature.
Brazilian left back Marcelo is definitely out with a hamstring injury, while Angel Di Maria and Sami Khedira are highly unlikely to be fit in time for Saturday's clash.
Sergio Ramos returns from suspension and is set to slot in at right back, with Ricardo Carvalho expected to partner compatriot Pepe in central defense.
