Real Madrid vs Girona – Predicted lineup and team news

Real Madrid will welcome Girona to the Santiago Bernabéu on Friday night for their La Liga matchday 31 encounter.

The hosts come into this game under pressure after suffering consecutive defeats in both domestic and European competitions. Their recent 2–1 loss to Mallorca in La Liga—settled by a goal in stoppage time—has left them seven points adrift of leaders Barcelona. Adding to their worries, Madrid also fell 2–1 at home to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

Real Madrid team news

The team continues to deal with injuries and suspensions. Rodrygo remains out for the long term with a torn ACL and meniscus, while goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is still sidelined by a thigh problem, meaning Andriy Lunin will once again start in goal.

Franco Mastantuono is unavailable due to a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

On a more positive note, Ferland Mendy has fully returned to training and could be included depending on the final pre-match assessment.

Despite slight knocks, Jude Bellingham and Eder Militao are expected to feature from the start.

With Real Madrid eager to stay in the title race, Kylian Mbappéme and Vinicius Junior are under pressure to lead the attack and find the goals their team desperately needs.

Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni, suspended for the second leg against Bayern, is expected to start this game.
