Real Madrid XI vs Mallorca: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Spanish Super Cup

Real Madrid will have Vinicius Junior available for their Spanish Super Cup clash against Mallorca.

The Brazilian was sent off for the first time in his LaLiga career for a push on Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievsk during Madrid’s 2-1 win on Friday night.

He has been handed a two-game ban, although that will only be applicable in the league.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side made a raft of change for their 5-0 win over Deportivo Minera in the Copa del Rey on Monday night – with Vinicius starting on the bench. The Brazilian has been included in the squad to travel to Saudi.

Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham were among those rested from the start, with Antonio Rudiger and Thibaut Courtois not having travelled.

Madrid are expected to restore most of their big names for the clash on Thursday night, although all of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao are injured.

David Alaba is also in the squad as he looks to make a long-awaited return from serious injury.

Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois; Vasquez; Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Modric; Rodryo, Bellingham, Guler; Mbappe

Doubts: Alaba

Injured: Militao, Carvajal

Potentially suspended: Vinicius Junior

Time and date: 7pm GMT on Thursday 9 January 2025
