Girona team news
Girona's week took another disappointing turn as they were shockingly eliminated from the Copa del Rey by fourth-tier side UD Logrones. In a dramatic finish, Logrones played the final stages with an outfield player in goal after their goalkeeper's red card, yet still found a way to upset their top-flight opponents.
Returning to league action, Girona are expected to field a more familiar starting XI against Madrid. However, Viktor Tsygankov, Yangel Herrera, and Yaser Asprilla remain unavailable due to injuries.
Real Madrid team news
Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, and David Alaba remain sidelined, but the defending champions emerged unscathed from their clash with Athletic Bilbao in terms of new injuries.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is likely to tweak his starting lineup slightly, with Brahim Diaz and Ferland Mendy in contention to replace Dani Ceballos and Fran Garcia. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham are expected to feature in the attack once again. In defense, Raul Asencio, who has stepped up admirably following Militao's season-ending knee injury, is set to retain his spot.
