Real Madrid will be without goalkeeper Iker Casillas for the Primera Division clash against Getafe because of a broken thumb.

The Santiago Bernabeu club have signed Sevilla's Diego Lopez as replacement, but Antonio Adan is expected to deputise on Sunday.

Sergio Ramos and Kaka return from bans but defender Pepe remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

Getafe have completed the loan signing of left-back Sergio Escudero from Schalke in time for him to feature at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mane, Miguel Torres, Xavi Torres, Angel Lafita and Pedro Leon are all ruled out, while defender David Abraham has been sold to Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim.

Winger Diego Castro returns from suspension but boss Luis Garcia will watch the game from the stands as he serves the second of his two-game touchline ban.

Players to Watch
Adán
Adán
Position: Goalkeeper
Squad Number: 13
Games Goals YC RC
3 0 0 1
The reserve goalkeeper looks set for an extended run in the first-team, including key fixtures against Barcelona and Manchester United in the Copa del Rey and Champions League respectively due to Iker Casillas' fractured hand. Adan will hope to make the most of his opportunity and establish himself in the starting XI.
Paco Alcácer
Paco Alcácer
Position: Striker
Squad Number: 34
Games Goals YC RC
20 3 0 0
The highly-regarded youngster has made an impression in his loan spell at Getafe, netting two goals in his last four matches. Alcacer will be keen to announce himself on the big stage by performing well at the Bernabeu.
Prediction
Despite their inconsistent form, Madrid should have little trouble in dispatching their city rivals, who are struggling for goals at the moment.
