The 4 Real Madrid players under scrutiny may start their vacations early.

These four players are in a critical situation for the two remaining matches of the season

Real Madrid faces Sevilla in the penultimate match of the current league campaign. But that match doesn't put anything at stake, except the possibility of adding another three points and offering good feelings to the fans. FC Barcelona's victory against Espanyol in the last matchday decided the League championship, removing the white club from that possibility during the current season.

One of the doubts for this match is about four footballers who could definitively miss the last match of the league campaign, against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabéu. Fede Valverde, Lucas Vázquez, Dani Ceballos, and Jude Bellingham have received four yellow cards so far, so they are at risk of suspension.

If they are booked in the match to be played at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium this afternoon, they would serve a yellow card suspension during the match against Real Sociedad. Therefore, they would advance their vacations and preparation for the Club World Cup, saving physical efforts for the tournament organized by FIFA for this summer.

White fans will not hesitate to "watch" those players closely, given the last-minute absences that occurred for the match against Real Mallorca. The feeling that some footballers "opted out" of the clash against the Bermellona discipline hasn't completely disappeared... and it extends to the match in the Andalusian capital.

Complicated situation

Especially when only two matches remain in a League that Real Madrid has mathematically lost against FC Barcelona. Therefore, there are reasonable doubts about the players who are at risk of suspension for the match at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, footballers who would be important for the upcoming Club World Cup.

Forced to serve a suspension during the Real Madrid-Real Sociedad match, the last of the current soccer season, these four players highlighted by the discipline would have more preparation time. The Club World Cup looms as the major competition on the competitive horizon for the white club, but Carlo Ancelotti will not be present to lead the team in that tournament.

Real Madrid fans wouldn't look favorably on some footballers "opting out" again for the match against Real Sociedad, the last match of this league season. Despite the threat of suspension hanging over players like Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vázquez, and Dani Ceballos, yellow cards are more than avoidable.

The tactical and physical preparation for the Club World Cup is one of Real Madrid's major concerns right now. Xabi Alonso's coaching staff, also pushing this season in the Bundesliga, would be working to condition the first team for the tournament organized by FIFA in the United States.
