Real Madrid opens the day on Sunday, September 11, against Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu. A match, corresponding to matchday 5 of the Santander League, which will be played at 2:00 p.m. and in which Carlo Ancelotti's team wants to continue their unbeaten streak this season. In addition to adding his games for victories (4) he also debuted with a victory in the Champions League last Tuesday against Celtic (0-3).
The white team has its main weapon for this, a Vinícius who is in a state of grace after scoring four consecutive games. The Madrid striker has found the net against Celta, Espanyol, Betis and Celtic, being one of the best of the group in this league start. A weapon that will have to continue exploiting this Sunday, since Ancelotti still cannot count on another gunner of the stature of Karim Benzema.
The French striker continues to work on his recovery from the double thigh injury. Despite first impressions, the meniscus in his right knee is not affected. Of course, this setback will keep him off the pitch for about a month and he is expected to return on October 2, when Real Madrid hosts Osasuna after the international break.
On the other hand, the Brazilian Éder Militao is also not available for the duel against Mallorca, who suffers a "slight muscle injury" in his thigh that will keep him off the pitch until the match against Atlético de Madrid next Sunday 18 of September.
For Mallorca, a visit to the Spanish capital does not usually herald good results. The Balearic team has not scored in Madrid for 13 years and last year, with Luis García Plaza on the bench, they won 6-1 with a triplet by Marco Asensio, a former vermilion, who is still at Real Madrid in search of minutes and continuity.
Javier Aguirre's Mallorca has started the campaign with good results away from home. He tied in San Mamés and won in Vallecas. The company seems even more complicated. Real Madrid have won all their official matches so far and, even without Benzema, trust their arguments to add their fifth win in a row and stay at the top of the league.
Real Madrid hosts Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu this Sunday, September 11, at 2:00 p.m. A match corresponding to day 5 of the Santander League and that can be seen through DAZN. In addition, La Vanguardia will offer live minute by minute highlights of the meeting.
