Achraf Hakimi, Marcos Llorente and Borja Mayoral have been left out of Real Madrid’s squad for their trip to Levante on Saturday.
It marks the second game running that Achraf has been discarded by Zinedine Zidane, while a full-strength midfield means there is no room for Llorente.
Up top, the return of Isco pushes out Mayoral, with Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo all set to start at Ciutat de Valencia.
Levante, for their part, will name their squad after training on Saturday morning.
The Valencians signed six players last month in Armando Sadiku, Coke, Ivan Villar, Ruben Rochina, Fahad Al-Muwallad and Giampaolo Pazzini.
Three of them – Sadiku, Rochina and Pazzini – arrived on deadline day, although it remains to be seen whether the attackers will be included so soon.
The two sides’ last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu back in September.
Madrid squad: Navas, Casilla, Moha; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Theo; Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Asensio, Isco, Kovacic; Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Vazquez.
