Official: One headline absence as Real Madrid name squad for Athletic Club clash

The squad of players set to be trusted by Real Madrid to get the better of Athletic Club on Sunday has been unveiled online.

Real Madrid are primed to mark their return to action tomorrow evening.

Fresh off a hugely disappointing Champions League exit at the hands of Arsenal in midweek, Los Blancos will shift attentions back towards matters on the league front.

A La Liga meeting with the aforementioned Athletic Club lies in wait, at the Santiago Bernabéu.

And as alluded to above, on Saturday, the squad of players called upon by Carlo Ancelotti for the clash has been unveiled online.

As expected, there is one major omission, namely Kylian Mbappé, who is due to sit out a one-game suspension on Sunday owing to his straight red card last weekend.

Included, on the other hand, are the likes of Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, for a Real Madrid matchday squad as follows:
