MADRID, 18 (EUROPA PRESS)
Real Madrid host CA Osasuna on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.) in the first matchday of the EA Sports 2025-26 LaLiga season. Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy and Endrick are out due to injury, while Antonio Rüdiger is out due to suspension. The club announced that the Argentine Franco Mastantuono and youth player Thiago Pitarch are among the new additions.
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso will be without Bellingham, Camavinga, Mendy, and Endrick for the opening match at the Santiago Bernabéu, all of whom are currently recovering from their respective injuries. Meanwhile, Rüdiger faces his final match of his suspension from last season.
For this reason, the Tolosa native compiled a list of all available players, including Mastantuono, who only joined training last week. Also notable is the young youth player Thiago Pitarch, a playmaking midfielder whom Alonso has brought into the first-team dynamic. Also included is Uruguayan Fede Valverde, who was absent from the only preseason test due to an overload.
Thus, the call is made up of goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin and Sergio Mestre; defenders Dani Carvajal, Éder Militao, David Alaba, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Raúl Asencio, Álvaro Carreras, Fran García and Dean Huijsen; the midfielders Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Dani Ceballos and Thiago Pitarch; and the forwards Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo Goes, Gonzalo García, Brahim Díaz and Franco Mastantuono.
