Madrid squad list for Leganes Copa del Rey match

Real Madrid face the Copa del Rey quarter-finals with difficulties. Carlo Ancelotti's squad has many physical problems ahead of Wednesday's game against Leganés.

In Butarque, neither Jude Bellingham nor Kylian Mbappé will be available. Both absences were announced by Ancelotti himself at the press conference due to bruising, although both are expected to be fit for the derby against Atletico Madrid.

Another notable absentee for Real Madrid against Leganes is Thibaut Courtois. As usual, the Belgian goalkeeper has been left out of the squad due to rest in the Copa del Rey.

The defence is the line where Real Madrid are suffering the most physical problems. In addition to Antonio Rüdiger's injury, David Alaba is out for two to three weeks. As a result, Ancelotti has no available centre-backs from the first team except Vallejo, who has not been available all year.

Real Madrid's squad list is made up of: Lunin, Fran Gonzalez, Sergio Mestre; Lucas Vazquez, Vallejo, Fran Garcia, Mendy, Jacobo Ramon, Asencio, Lorenzo, Mario Rivas; Valverde, Modric, Tcohuaméni, Arda Güler, Ceballos, Chema; Vinicius, Rodrygo, Endrick, Brahim and Gonzalo.
