Possible Real Madrid Lineup for Tonight's Match

Real Madrid faces the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal at Reale Arena against Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid faces Real Sociedad with several significant absences. Carlo Ancelotti must make adjustments to his starting eleven.

Jude Bellingham will be a starter.His suspension prevents him from playing against Betis and in the first leg of the Euroderbi due to an accumulation of yellow cards. He also missed the match against Girona. He will only be able to play today in 18 days. A key match.

Real Madrid's Absences

Mbappé is out due to a dental procedure following a tooth extraction. Valverde is resting as a precaution. Courtois continues to have issues with his right leg. Vallejo suffers from a biceps femoris tear. None will play tonight.

Lunin will be the chosen one. His starting position seems secure. The question is whether he will remain in a hypothetical final.

Lucas Vázquez will be the right-back. Asencio could be an alternative if there is rotation. Rüdiger and Fran García complete the defensive line.

Dani Ceballos returns to the starting eleven. He will play alongside Tchouaméni in the midfield. Ancelotti trusts his ability to control the match.

Attack with an Uncertainty

Rodrygo will occupy the right wing. Vinícius will be on the left. Bellingham will play in the attacking midfield. The big question is who will be the center forward.

Without Mbappé, Brahim is the favorite to occupy the position. Although it is not ruled out that Rodrygo could be the '9' and Brahim plays on the right wing. Endrick and Güler await their opportunity from the bench.

Possible Real Madrid line-up:

Lunin; Lucas Vázquez, Asencio, Rüdiger, Fran García; Ceballos, Tchouaméni; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinícius; Brahim.
