Getafevs.Real Madrid

sportsmole.co.uk, 21 April 2025, 16:23
Real Madrid will warm up for Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona with a trip across the Spanish capital for Wednesday's La Liga meeting with Getafe.

Los Blancos needed a stunning stoppage-time winner from Federico Valverde to clinch a 1-0 victory in Sunday's home clash against Athletic Club.

Having collected 69 points from 32 matches, Carlo Ancelotti's side are sitting in second position in the standings and four points adrift from leaders Barcelona with six games left to play.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Getafe, who are sitting in 12th position after putting 39 points from 32 matches.

Kylian Mbappe

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: April 23 (vs. Getafe)

Mbappe served a one-match suspension at the weekend, although he would have missed the game through injury anyway. The Frenchman sustained an ankle problem in last week's Champions League defeat against Arsenal, and while he is expected to be ready for Saturday's Copa del Rey final, it is unclear whether he will be able to play a role against Getafe.

Ferland Mendy

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: April 23 (vs. Getafe)

Mendy has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury in the Champions League last-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid on March 12. Having missed the last eight matches, the left-back faces an uphill battle to be ready for the trip to the Coliseum.

Dani Carvajal

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Carvajal is unlikely to play again this season after he sustained a serious knee injury in October. However, he appears to be making progress in his rehabilitation and could return in time to play a part in this summer's Club World Cup in the USA.

Eder Militao

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

In contrast to Carvajal, Militao is unlikely to be ready for the Club World Cup, as he continues to work on his rehabilitation from an anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered in November's league meeting with Osasuna.

REAL MADRID'S SUSPENSION LIST

Real Madrid have no players suspended for this fixture, although Lucas Vazquez and Dani Ceballos are both one caution away from a one-match ban.
