Real Madrid has a meeting with Deportivo Minera on Monday evening in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. Three days after an eventful return to La Liga on the Valencia pitch, and a miraculous victory snatched in added time (1-2).
To face the residents of Segunda RFEF – the fourth division of the Spanish football hierarchy – Carlo Ancelotti decided to do without the services of Kylian Mbappé. This is in order to spare his French attacker before the upcoming deadlines.
On the bench at kickoff
Three days later, Real Madrid will have to do battle with Mallorca in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup. Also the captain of the Blues will start on the bench in Cartagena. Unlike Thibaut Courtois and Anthony Rüdiger who are not even in the group of players called up.
While Vinicius promises to be suspended from Real’s next outings after his expulsion against Valencia, Carlo Ancelotti counts more than ever on the former PSG star to boost his attack. Note that six elements from the White House training center were called in as reinforcements for this cup match.
