The match will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where coach Álvaro Arbeloa faces a complicated situation with a long list of absences in his squad. In addition to Asencio, full-back Ferland Mendy was also left out of the squad due to muscle problems. Added to this is the absence of young midfielder Jorge Cestero, while youth team winger Dani Yáñez appears as a new addition to the list. Real Madrid continues to deal with a significant wave of injuries affecting several of its key players. Among the footballers who remain out due to physical problems are Kylian Mbappé, Álvaro Carreras, David Alaba, Éder Militão, Dani Ceballos, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo. In total, there are nine injuries in the white team, to which is added that of the Argentinian Franco Mastantuono, who must serve his second match suspension after his expulsion in the match against Getafe CF. Faced with this situation, Arbeloa has once again turned to youth players to complete the squad. Among them, defender Diego Aguado and midfielders Thiago Pitarch, Manuel Ángel, and César Palacios stand out. Real Madrid will seek to overcome the numerous absences and add three important points at home against Elche, while continuing to await the recovery of several of its stars for the upcoming commitments.
