Real Madrid Team News vs Mallorca
Real Madrid will be without Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal as they continue to recover from long-term injuries. Jesus Vallejo will also be absent through injury.
David Alaba has been included in the squad for the Mallorca game, but it is unlikely that he will play any minutes as he continues to recover from a long-term setback. Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr will be eligible to play as his two-game suspension only applies to La Liga games.
Thibaut Courtois and Antonio Rudiger also return to the Real Madrid squad after being left out of traveling party for the Deportiva Minera game on Monday.
