Real Madrid squad announced for Mallorca clash in LaLiga

Real Madrid take on Mallorca in LaLiga on Wednesday and Carlo Ancelotti has announced his squad for the club’s first Game of 2024.

Vinícius Júnior and Arda Güler are both available for Ancelotti after their respective spells out. The latter has yet to make his debut for Los Blancos due to injury issues since making the move to the Spanish capital in the summer.

When asked about Güler in a press conference on Tuesday, Ancelotti said: “The important thing for him is that he is well. He is training with the squad but we can’t hurry him because he is very young... he is 18 years old. He will have all the time in the world to play with us. He is ready. If I can give him minutes tomorrow, I will give him minutes tomorrow. If not, it will be in another game.”
