Key Absences as Madrid Face Espanyol

Real Madrid faces Espanyol with several key players missing, including Kylian Mbappé and Thibaut Courtois. The team also won't have Carvajal, Militao, Rodrygo, Güler, and Ceballos, whose departure from the club now appears imminent.

With these absences, coach Arbeloa is turning to academy players like Palacios, Pitarch, and Jiménez. A win is essential to prevent Barcelona from being crowned LaLiga champions before their upcoming El Clásico match. newsbetting.club
