Real Madrid and Real Sociedad meet in LaLiga at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday, with the home side aiming to move into first place in the standings.
Los Blancos head into the game in excellent shape, having won five of their last six matches in all competitions and each of their previous seven league fixtures.
Real Madrid team news
Real are still missing long-term casualty Eder Militao, who continues his recovery from a tendon injury. Jude Bellingham is also unavailable after Madrid’s medical team confirmed a muscle injury in his left leg, with Spanish reports suggesting he is expected to be sidelined for around a month.
Rodrygo Goes is another attacking option ruled out, following a hamstring problem in his right leg; Real’s medical update and several media outlets indicate he is set for roughly 10 days on the sidelines, meaning he will also miss this league clash with Real Sociedad as well after missing the game against Valencia.
There is better news for Alvaro Arbeloa regarding Kylian Mbappe, who is fit to feature after a slight knee issue. Arbeloa and club sources have stated that the French star has trained fully and is “ready” for the match, while Mbappe comes into the contest having scored in each of his last six La Liga games.
Vinicius Junior is available again after serving a one-match suspension for accumulation of yellow cards, which kept him out of the trip to Mestalla, and he now returns to league action.
Real Madrid predicted lineup
Possible Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Brahim, Mbappe, Vinicius
