Talented young defender Diego Aguado has been called up to travel to Dubai. He played 90 minutes in the Copa del Rey game on Monday, impressing Carlo Ancelotti. It will be an excellent experience for Aguado, who turns 18 in February.
Real Madrid will face Mallorca in the semi-final on Thursday, January 9, and a win will book them a place in the final on Sunday, January 12.
Carlo Ancelotti may choose to rotate his team. However, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo are well-rested after being unused substitutes in the Copa del Rey.
