Injury blow for Girona ahead of clash with Real Madrid

Ibrahima Kebé set to miss out through suspension

Girona have been dealt an injury blow ahead of their clash with Real Madrid on Sunday, with Ibrahima Kebé set to miss out through suspension. The Senegalese defender was sent off in Girona's 1-0 defeat to Valencia last weekend, and will now serve a one-match ban. Kebé has been a key player for Girona this season, making 20 appearances in all competitions. His absence will be a blow to the Catalan club, who are looking to bounce back from their defeat to Valencia. Girona are currently 11th in La Liga, and will be hoping to pick up a positive result against Real Madrid in order to improve their chances of qualifying for European competition next season. Real Madrid will be without Karim Benzema for the game, after the French striker picked up a knock in training. Benzema has been in fine form for Real Madrid this season, scoring 22 goals in 23 appearances in all competitions. His absence will be a blow to the Spanish giants, who are looking to close the gap on Barcelona at the top of the table. The game between Girona and Real Madrid will be played at the Estadi Montilivi on Sunday, 30th January. Kick-off is at 16:15 CET.
