La Liga behemoth Real Madrid will be hosting Galatasaray at the Santiago Bernabeu on matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League.

The Los Blancos handed Gala a shellacking the last time out, scoring 6 goals, while only allowing one consolation goal at the Turk Telekom Arena.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was responsible for half of Madrid's scoring output, will not suit up for the Spanish side because of an injury.

"Cristiano can't play tomorrow, he's had a very small problem but tomorrow we're going to rest him and we're going to see if he can be available for Saturday," Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelloti told espnfc.com.

"He has a small muscle strain but he is very confident he can play on Saturday, but if there's any risk of him getting injured, he won't play."

Sami Khedira, Raphael Varane and Fabio Coentrao will be joining Ronaldo in the sidelines, while Luka Modric will be serving a one-game suspension after receiving three yellow cards.

Ancelloti noted that the Turkish side could be a more dangerous team because of the influence of Roberto Mancini, who replaced Fatih Terim in September.

"It will be a different game to the one in Istanbul, Galatasaray have changed a lot since Mancini arrived,'' He disclosed.

"Now they have more balance and have quality in attack, with players like Didier Drogba. We expect a very difficult game because they are playing for qualification.''
