Gareth Bale has been named among the substitutes for Real Madrid as they welcome Eibar to the Bernabeu this afternoon.

Injuries and suspensions have forced manager Zinedine Zidane into seven changes from the side that claimed a vital win over Barcelona last time out.

Cristiano Ronaldo keeps his place on the front line, where he is joined by Lucas Vazquez and Jese as Bale is benched and Karim Benzema misses out with a knee injury.

Kiko Casilla is brought in between the sticks for Keylor Navas, while Sergio Ramos's suspension means a recall for Nacho in the back four, where he is joined by Pepe, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Arbeloa.

Isco earns a rare start in the middle of the park, where he is joined by James Rodriguez and Casemiro as Toni Kroos is forced to start on the bench.

Real Madrid: Casilla; Carvajal, Arbeloa, Pepe, Nacho; Casemiro, Isco, James Rodriguez; Ronaldo, Vazquez, Jese
Subs: Ruben Yanez, Kroos, Bale, Marcelo, Kovacic, Danilo, Borja Mayoral

Eibar: Riesgo; Capa, Ramis, Pantic, Luna; Adrian, Escalante, Garcia; Keko, Enrich, Jota
