Good morning from Madrid
Welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of the LaLiga clash between Real Madrid and Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real will be looking to extend their stunning winning streak in the league in their bid to defend their crown in Spain.
But manager Carlo Ancelotti will be without key man Eder Militao and star scorer Karim Benzema as they both got injured during the Champions League clash against Celtic last Tuesday.
Militao picked up a light muscle knock whereas Benzema sustained a quad injury during last week’s 3-0 win at Celtic Park.
Benzema could be out for a month, which works as a major blow for Ancelotti as he will need to find a way to cope without his best player.
Therefore, ex-Chelsea star Eden Hazard could start as a false nine and another former Blues ace Antonio Rudiger may line up alongside David Alaba at centre-back.
Jesus Vallejo has returned to full training, but Alvaro Odriozola is again sidelined with a muscle injury.
Luka Modric could be rested ahead of Wednesday’s clash with RB Leipzig and that could allow Eduardo Camavinga to start.
Mallorca boss Javier Aguirre, on the other hand, will be missing Dominik Greif, who is out with a hip problem.
Iddrisu Baba, Amath Ndiaye and Angel Rodriguez are also nursing an injury of their own and are likely to be absent
