Line-ups: Madrid-Osasuna

Cristiano Ronaldo’s return is one of five changes for Real Madrid against Osasuna in La Liga this afternoon.

Ronaldo is back in his spiritual home of the left wing to make his first appearance since the Euro 2016 final two months ago as Danilo, Nacho Fernandez and Pepe all come in for Dani Carvajal, Marcelo and Raphael Varane.

Elsewhere, Casemiro and James Rodriguez’s absences open the door for Mateo Kovacic in central midfield and Alvaro Morata keeps his place in attack, despite Karim Benzema being named a substitute.

A win for Los Blancos today would see them match a club-record run of 15 straight victories, set over half-a-century ago.

Real Madrid: Casilla; Danilo, Ramos, Pepe, Nacho; Kroos, Modric, Kovacic; Bale, Morata, Ronaldo

Subs: Carvajal, Varane, Benzema, Vazquez, Mariano, Asensio, Yanez

Osasuna: Nauzet; Unai, Tano, M Flano, Garcia, Tienza; De las Cuevas, Tienza, Oier; Riviere, Kenan

Subs: Leon, Riera, Torres, Jaime, Merida, Clerc, Mario

Referee: Fernandez Borbalan
