Real Madrid have no fresh injury worries ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Alcoyano at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Boss Jose Mourinho is likely to name a much changed side from the one that lost 1-0 to Betis on Saturday, so there could be rare starts for Kaka, Jose Callejon, Ricardo Carvalho, Raul Albiol and Alvaro Morata.
Gonzalo Higuain, Marcelo and Michael Essien all remain sidelined through injury.
Alcoyano could make changes to the team that drew with Villarreal’s reserves at the weekend as they look to overturn a 4-1 deficit from the first-leg.

The Brazil ace has struggled to establish himself in the Real Madrid first team, with the likes of Mesut Ozil and Luka Modric preferred ahead of him in the creative midfield role. Kaka will want to make the most of this opportunity and lead his team into the next round.
| David Torres | |

Torres is Alcoyano’s joint-top scorer in Segunda B this season with four goals, but has not found the back of the net since October. The 26-year-old will be keen to rediscover his form in front of goal by scoring at the Bernabeu.

19 Jose Mourinho's second string should have too much for their Segunda B visitors, who have little hope of overturning a 4-1 first-leg defeat.
