Marco Llorente is the only injury concern for Santiago Solari

Los Blancos are in a strong position to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League but will have to do so without Sergio Ramos
Real Madrid may hold the advantage over Ajax ahead of their last-16 second-leg Champions League meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu, but Santi Solari’s side still have work to do if they are to progress.



The three-time defending champions edged the first leg thanks to a late strike from Marco Asensio, which gave them a 2-1 victory after Hakim Ziyech had levelled Karim Benzema’s opening goal.
It means that the Amsterdam outfit will have to score at least twice in the Spanish capital to have a hope of progressing, but Los Blancos are in a difficult period , having lost back-to-back Clasicos against Barcelona.
Sergio Ramos is Real Madrid’s major absentee for this match. He has been handed a two-game suspension by UEFA for deliberately being booked in the closing stages of the first leg.

Marco Llorente is the only injury concern for Santiago Solari.

Gareth Bale is set to start on the bench after being whistled as he was replaced during Saturday’s Clasico.
