Real Madrid travels to Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla on Friday as they meet Real Betis<\/a> in their next La Liga<\/a> fixture.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The team is entirely missing three vital pieces across the pitch: starting goalkeeper Diego Conde<\/a> is recovering from a shoulder injury, midfielder Giovani Lo Celso<\/a> is out with a muscular issue, and forward Aitor Ruibal<\/a> remains sidelined due to a knee problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Adding to the selection headaches, midfielder Dani Ceballos<\/a>, who recently rejoined the club on a free transfer from Real Madrid<\/a>, is considered a massive doubt due to a significant lack of match fitness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Looking for defensive stability, Pellegrini is heavily tipped to rotate his squad, with Diego Llorente, Pablo Fornals, and Cucho Hern\u00e1ndez all pushing for starting spots to give Betis the balance needed to frustrate the visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o and Ferland Mendy<\/a> are completely sidelined due to hamstring and thigh issues, respectively, while forward Rodrygo<\/a> remains out with a knee injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The backline is stretched even further with Ra\u00fal Asencio and Thiago Pitarch also unavailable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a major blow to the midfield and attack, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni<\/a> and Endrick faced late fitness tests but failed to make the official travelling squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite these heavy losses, Mourinho can still lean on a world-class core. Fully fit superstars Jude Bellingham<\/a>, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a>, and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior<\/a> will headline the attack, while new midfield signing Sergio Mart\u00ednez provides reinforcement from the bench as Los Blancos<\/a> aim to secure three points despite their depleted depth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Real Betis started their season brightly with back-to-back 1-0 victories against Valencia and Real Sociedad. However, Manuel Pellegrini\u2019s side suffered a massive reality check last time out, collapsing defensively in a brutal 5-2 defeat to Levante. Currently occupying seventh place with six points, the Seville-based club has struggled with consistency and enters this crucial home fixture desperate to steady their backline and bounce back from that heavy, demoralising setback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nReal Betis vs Real Madrid<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Match preview and team news<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
