The 27 year-old France captain, who equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's club record of 59 goals in a calendar year for Madrid in its 2-0 LaLiga win over Sevilla on 20 December, has a sprain in his left knee. The injury also ruled him out of the 5-1 LaLiga home victory over Real Betis.

In a boost for manager Xabi Alonso, summer signing Trent Alexander-Arnold has been included in the squad. The England right back, 27, had been sidelined since early December with a thigh muscle injury in his left leg and was initially expected to miss two months.

Real lost last year's Spanish Super Cup final 5-2 to El Clasico rival Barcelona. Barcelona faces Athletic Club in the second semi-final on Thursday, with the final scheduled for Sunday in Jeddah.

Real Madrid squad:

Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin, Fran Gonzalez.

Defenders: Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Raul Asencio, Alvaro Carreras, Fran Garcia, Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy, Dean Huijsen, David Jimenez.

Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Dani Ceballos, Thiago.

Forwards: Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Gonzalo Garcia, Franco Mastantuono.
