Real Madrid Team News
The visitors will have to cope without Dani Ceballos, who remains sidelined after sustaining a hamstring injury during a behind-closed-doors match with Real Madrid Castilla. The 28-year-old has yet to resume training but could make his comeback when Los Blancos face Juventus in the Champions League on October 22.
There is encouraging news concerning Kylian Mbappé. The French forward trained fully on Friday after recovering from a minor ankle issue that saw him pull out of international duty. Taking to social media, he assured fans of his readiness by writing: “Let’s go Sunday. Hala Madrid!” The 26-year-old enters the fixture in sparkling form, with nine goals from his first eight La Liga outings this season.
Promising youngster Franco Mastantuono is also back in training following a brief injury scare. However, Alonso continues to face defensive headaches. Dean Huijsen is unavailable with a calf problem, while Antonio Rüdiger remains on the treatment table with a thigh injury. Both Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also missing, though the duo are expected to be fit in time for El Clásico later this month.
Real Madrid Predicted Lineup
Possible Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois; Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras; Tchouameni, Camavinga; Diaz, Guler, Vinicius; Mbappe.
