Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in their La Liga campaign opener with Mallorca.
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to name an unchanged side from the UEFA Super Cup for Sunday’s La Liga contest with Mallorca at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
Kylian Mbappe made his Los Blancos debut on Wednesday night, and the France international found the back of the net in a 2-0 success for the capital giants against Atalanta BC.
Ancelotti is unlikely to make any changes to his XI, with Mbappe again set to be joined by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in the final third of the field.
Jude Bellingham excelled in a deeper midfield role against Atalanta, and the England international should continue in that area, with Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde making up the midfield three.
Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are now back to full fitness following serious knee injuries last season, and the pair are set to be hugely important players in 2024-25.
Real Madrid did not suffer any fitness issues against Atalanta, but David Alaba remains on the sidelines with a knee injury, while Eduardo Camavinga also damaged his knee in a training session ahead of the UEFA Super Cup, and the midfielder will be out for the next six weeks.
Endrick did not make his competitive debut for Real Madrid against Atalanta, but the Brazilian could be involved off the bench against Mallorca this weekend.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius
