Real Madrid injury, suspension news vs. Real Sociedad: Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Endrick updates

Sports Mole looks at Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the La Liga clash with Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid will be bidding to end their 2024-25 campaign with a victory when they host Real Sociedad on Saturday afternoon.

Los Blancos will enter the match off the back of a 2-0 victory over Sevilla, but they have already been confirmed as runners-up in the La Liga table this season.

Saturday will mark Carlo Ancelotti's final game in charge of the capital giants, as he prepares to take charge of Brazil, with Xabi Alonso widely expected to arrive as his replacement.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their fixture with Real Sociedad, who have had a disappointing campaign, currently sitting down in 11th spot in the division.


Rodrygo
