Athletic Bilbao host Real Madrid this Wednesday (6pm GMT) at San Mamés in a match counting for Matchday 19 of La Liga. This fixture has been rescheduled due to the Spanish Super Cup taking place in January 2026.

On the Basque side, Inaki Williams, Prados, and Egiluz are all expected to miss out due to injury.

For Real, Xabi Alonso must cope with a depleted defense in the absence of Dean Huijsen, Carvajal, Alaba, and Raul Asencio. He is set to rely on a centre-back pairing of Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger, with Alexander-Arnold and Fran Garcia as full-backs. Mbappé is expected to lead the line alongside Vinicius Junior and Güler.

Struggling to find the net for 30 matches, Rodrygo Goes is set to start on the bench.

Athletic Bilbao: Simon - Lekue, Paredes, Vivian, Berchiche - Mora, Jauregizar - N. Williams, Berenguer, Navarro - Guruzeta.
