Real Madrid will once again be hampered by defensive issues, with Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ferland Mendy all sidelined through injury. Dean Huijsen and David Alaba also remain unavailable for selection.
Despite major concerns over an ankle problem, Eduardo Camavinga has been included in the squad and could feature. With both Carvajal and Alexander-Arnold missing, Raul Asencio may be called upon to start at right-back, while Arda Güler is expected to return to the midfield after beginning the clash with Athletic on the bench.
In attack, Kylian Mbappé continues his outstanding season, having netted 25 goals in all competitions so far. The French superstar is set to be supported once again by Vinícius Júnior in the final third.
For Celta Vigo, Joseph Aidoo and Mihailo Ristić are nursing injury concerns, but the visitors are otherwise in good condition ahead of their trip to the capital. Head coach Giráldez is preparing to make sweeping changes from the Copa del Rey lineup, with several key players returning.
Borja Iglesias — who has scored eight goals across all competitions this term — is expected to lead the line, while Iago Aspas could also feature in the forward areas. Bryan Zaragoza provides another potent attacking option for the Galician outfit.
