Sevilla welcome back midfielder Diego Perotti from injury for Saturday's clash with Real Madrid at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
But the Andalusian outfit are set to be without Jose Antonio Reyes, who missed the goalless draw at Rayo Vallecano with a shoulder problem.
Goalkeeper Diego Lopez returns from suspension, while French midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia may be given his debut.
Real Madrid have no fresh injury concerns, with the suspended Fabio Coentrao being the only absentee.
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start despite his apparent dissatisfaction with the Madrid hierarchy.

One of the best wingers around, the Spain international is staggeringly quick and is an excellent crosser of the ball. Navas can cause problems down Madrid's left flank, and he will love nothing more than to set up a goal or two for Alvaro Negredo and end Sevilla's dismal recent run of results against the Liga champions.

All eyes will be on the Portugal skipper after he cryptically declared last week that he was "sad" at the club. The 27-year-old has since moved to calm the waters, assuring fans that his gripe with Real is not motivated by money. Ronaldo must now put the whole matter behind him, and do his talking on the pitch or risk the Madridistas getting on his back.
The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan has been a happy hunting ground for Real in recent seasons and they will be determined to keep the pressure on leaders Barcelona. Sevilla's tepid draws against Granada and Rayo Vallecano have left fans underwhelmed, and their unbeaten start to the campaign could well come to an end here.
