Villarrealvs.Real Madrid

sportsmole.co.uk, 13 March 2025, 11:32
Real Madrid will be aiming to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they head to Villarreal in La Liga on Saturday night.

Los Blancos will enter the match off the back of a penalty-shootout success over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were 2-1 winners over Rayo Vallecano in Spain's top flight last weekend, meanwhile, and they are currently second in the La Liga table, level on points with leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Villarreal, who are fifth in the division and battling to secure a return to the Champions League for next season.

Dani Carvajal

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Real Madrid will be without the services of Carvajal for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign due to the severe knee injury that the right-back suffered in the clash with Villarreal on October 5.

Eder Militao

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Real Madrid will be without the services of Militao for the remainder of the campaign, as the Brazilian centre-back damaged his ACL during the clash with Osasuna back in November.

Jesus Vallejo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Real Madrid are currently without the services of Vallejo due to a thigh problem, with his injury being confirmed ahead of the team's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Real Sociedad.

Ferland Mendy

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: March 15 (vs. Villarreal)

Mendy was forced off in the latter stages of the clash with Atletico on Wednesday night due to a muscular issue, and the France international is now a major doubt for the game against Villarreal.

Dani Ceballos

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Ceballos has been in excellent form for Real Madrid of late, but the midfielder is facing a period on the sidelines due to the muscular issue that he suffered in the latter stages of the recent Copa del Rey clash with Real Sociedad.

REAL MADRID'S SUSPENSION LIST

Real Madrid will not be missing any players through suspension against Villarreal.
