Racing Santander

Jorge Salinas will serve a suspension for Racing Santander against Real Madrid, with Aarón Martín expected to replace him at left-back. Salinas has started four of the club’s last five matches, so José Alberto López must change his defence.

Andrés Martín is expected to continue after making his first start in the last five matches against Espanyol. Matteo Prati is available and could retain his midfield place after returning to team training. Pablo García had discomfort after the Copa del Rey match against Ribadesella, although he is not expected to start against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid remain without Vinícius Júnior at Racing Santander, with the forward serving the third match of a four-game suspension. Rodrygo is also missing as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

There is also uncertainty in goal. Thibaut Courtois is doubtful due to illness but remains the likely starter, with Andriy Lunin the alternative after starting at Barcelona. At right-back, Federico Valverde is doubtful due to a hamstring injury, so Denzel Dumfries is expected to start ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Kylian Mbappé and Yan Diomande have contributed nine goals between them over the last five matches.
