Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid’s manager, has announced the squad selected for Tuesday evening’s match against Elche in the sixth round of La Liga, as the Spanish giants look to maintain their positive run and strengthen their position in the league standings. ⚽🔥
Real Madrid will travel to face Elche in an important fixture as the team aims to maintain its winning momentum and avoid dropping points at an early stage of the season, with competition at the top of La Liga continuing to intensify.
3 Players Continue to Miss Out
Real Madrid’s squad once again does not include Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo and Eder Militao, with the trio still not considered ready to take part in the match against Elche.
The absence of the three players represents an important blow in terms of both numbers and tactical options, especially because each player has a different role within the team. However, Mourinho’s squad includes several alternatives capable of covering those absences and maintaining the team’s strength throughout the match.
Real Madrid’s plans against Elche will depend on making the most of the available options while maintaining balance between the different lines, particularly with the pressure of a busy schedule and consecutive domestic commitments.

Another Challenge for Mourinho
Real Madrid enter the match with a clear desire to continue collecting points, particularly because every game during the early stages of the season represents an opportunity to build confidence and remain firmly involved in the title race.
The fixture also gives the coaching staff an opportunity to assess the readiness of players who could take on greater responsibilities because of the current absences, making the starting lineup and substitutions important factors in determining the outcome.
⭐ Real Madrid will hope to overcome the absences and secure another result that can provide a fresh boost in the La Liga race, while Elche will look to use home advantage and the support of their fans to disrupt the visitors’ plans. Can Real Madrid maintain their strong start despite the absences, or will Elche produce a surprise?
