Eden Hazard joins Real Madrid following £150million transfer from Chelsea

Real Madrid begin their La Liga campaign on Saturday afternoon.

Zinedine Zidane's side travel to the Balaidos to take on Celta Vigo.

It's been a disastrous offseason for Real with injuries now adding to Zidane's problems after a pre-season plagued with poor form.

Eden Hazard will be missing today while midfielder Marco Asensio is already ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

They will be boosted, however, with news of Barcelona's opening night defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

Here's everything you need to know:

When is it?

The game kicks off at 4pm UK time.

Is the game on TV in the UK?

Sadly the game will not be broadcast in the UK.

There will however be highlights on La Liga's YouTube channel.

Who will play?

Dani Carvajal is serving a one-match suspension which will force a slight re-think at the back. New signing Eder Militao will likely make his bow in what could be a back three.

Hazard's injury opens the door for Gareth Bale to get a shot despite his sour relationship with Zidane while James Rodriguez, who has been linked with a move away all summer, should make the bench.

Karim Benzema will lead the line with £55m signing Luka Jovic yet to make an impact.

Odds

Celta Vigo: 4/1

Draw: 3/1

Real Madrid: 8/13
