Mallorca against Real Madrid

Real Madrid will face Mallorca tomorrow in LaLiga, playing as visitors at the Iberostar Stadium. In the lead-up to the match, the Real Madrid coach spoke about the possibility of Vinicius taking this game as a break, something that, considering the next match is for the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich, seems logical also due to the load of previous matches he played.

The possibility that he won't play

"Vini, tired, as usual. My friend Carleto hasn't given him much rest. It's also normal. Who wants to give a player like Vinícius a rest? They were two very demanding matches for him. Madrid and Brazil are two teams with very high demands. It's what he has to deal with. He is a huge player. He comes with a lot of match load since the start of 2026, and we'll see how he feels today ahead of tomorrow's match. And we'll see," added Arbeloa. Although the possible absence of the Brazilian star is not yet confirmed, the coach implied it by referring to the player as tired and that his situation would be under evaluation.

Militao's return

The Real Madrid coach also spoke about the possible return of Eder Militao to the squad after his absence due to injury: "Militao is going to return. He will be in Mallorca tomorrow. In shape, he is the best center-back in the world. I haven't had the luck to coach him in even one match. We have been enjoying him at Real Madrid for many years. He is a center-back with great physicality, skills, and leadership," concluded Arbeloa, who also added that he was happy to have the player's presence for the end of the season.
