Official: Real Madrid squad list to face Levante – Mbappe returns | OneFootball

Real Madrid will play their first home game since the sacking of Xabi Alonso when they face off against UD Levante in La Liga tomorrow afternoon.

The Merengues began the new era under Alvaro Arbeloa in the worst possible way, losing to Albacete in the Copa del Rey clash and will be hoping to produce a strong reaction and secure all three points tomorrow in La Liga.

Ahead of the game, Arbeloa has now announced the squad list of players for the game, with some major returns boosting Real Madrid.

Indeed, Kylian Mbappe, who missed the cup tie vs Albacete, is back in the squad. The Frenchman trained with the rest of the group today, but it was suggested that he would not be risked because of the knee discomfort he had been dealing.

However, it appears that the 27-year-old superstar is fit enough to be named in the squad.

Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham, Alvaro Carreras and Thibaut Courtois, who were rested for the midweek clash, are also back in the squad list.

However, Antonio Rudiger, Rodrygo Goes, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, and Rodrygo Goes are all unavailable. Andriy Lunin, who started the cup tie in goal, also misses out.

Meanwhile, youngsters Jorge Cestero, David Jimenez, and Cesar Palacios, all of whom featured against Albacete, have been called up again. Manuel Angel, however, does not get another chance, but 21-year-old starlet Alvaro Leiva Alemany gets a first-ever call-up.
