Predicted Line-Up
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Lunin; Carvajal, Rudiger, Tchouameni, Garcia; Kroos, Valverde, Modric, Bellingham; Diaz, Rodrygo
Mallorca possible starting lineup:
Rajkovic; Gonzalez, Nastasic, Raillo; Maffeo, S. Costa, Mascarell, Lato; Sanchez, Rodriguez; Larin
Real Madrid faces challenges as key players such as Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militao remain sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga are not expected to be fit for the game. While Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior are making a comeback from their respective injuries, Vinicius might start from the bench as a precaution.
Arda Guler, who has faced injury setbacks in his initial six months with Real Madrid, is hopeful of making his debut and might find a place on the substitutes' bench. Due to Nacho's one-match suspension, Ancelotti is likely to deploy Aurelien Tchouameni as a makeshift center-back alongside Antonio Rudiger.
On the other side, Mallorca continues to miss the services of Martin Valjent and Vedat Muriqi. Jaume Costa's one-match suspension opens up an opportunity for Toni Lato to step in after recovering from his own injury issues. Former Real Madrid player Omar Mascarell, who missed the last match due to injury, is expected to return and feature in the Mallorca midfield. The game promises to be a test for both teams dealing with various player availability challenges.
