Real Sociedad host Real Madrid at Reale Arena in San Sebastián on Saturday, as both teams look to secure key La Liga points and shape their early-season goals.
The hosts, seeking their first win after a challenging start, face a formidable Madrid outfit buoyed by an unbeaten run led by new manager Xabi Alonso. Los Blancos lead the standings in La Liga, after three consecutive wins to start the new season.
The trip to Real Sociedad precedes a Champions League league phase opener at home to Marseille in midweek.
Jude Bellingham continues to recover from shoulder surgery, showing progress in training as he rejoins group sessions with Eduardo Camavinga. Although initially ruled out until late October, optimism is building for a potential return before the Madrid derby against Atletico this month, which would be a key boost for Real Madrid. Bellingham missed out on England’s September fixtures due to the issue.
Meanwhile, Ferland Mendy and Endrick are still unavailable due to ongoing fitness issues. Endrick, who has been sidelined since late May with a muscle injury, was previously expected to be in contention for this fixture but has not yet returned to the squad.
Real Madrid Predicted XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Carreras; Tchouameni, Valverde; Mastantuono, Guller, Vinicius; Mbappe.
Saturday at 3:15pm BST.
