1 min read

After being knocked out of the Champions League, Real Madrid returns to domestic action. The Merengues will take on Athletic Bilbao this Sunday in a Matchday 32 fixture. Sitting second in the league, four points behind leaders Barça, Madrid must secure a win to stay within reach of their Catalan rivals.

For this crucial match, Carlo Ancelotti has called up a 20-man squad. Key players such as Vinicius Junior, Endrick, Rodrygo, and Brahim Diaz are all included. Midfielders Luka Modric, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Eduardo Camavinga have also been named. However, Kylian Mbappé is suspended, and Ferland Mendy, recently recovered from injury, has been left out.
