Real Madrid has officially released the squad list for tonight’s La Liga fixture against Real Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabéu. After the heartbreak of the Clásico and a week dominated by election news and Mourinho rumors, the focus briefly returns to the pitch.
The headline news is the return of Kylian Mbappé, who missed the trip to Barcelona but is now fit and ready to lead the line.
The Squad Breakdown
- Goalkeepers: Courtois, Fran González, Mestre.
- Defenders: Carvajal (C), Alaba, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Á. Carreras, Fran García, Rüdiger, Joan Martínez.
- Midfielders: Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Thiago, Palacios.
- Forwards: Vini Jr., Mbappé, Gonzalo, Brahim, Mastantuono, Yáñez.
Key Takeaways
- The Return of the King: Kylian Mbappé is back in the list. Reports from Valdebebas suggest he trained at 100% and is expected to start as he looks to add to his 41-goal tally for the season.
- Defensive Shuffling: While Dani Carvajal returns to the squad after his World Cup snub, youngster Huijsen will miss this game. Joan Martínez steps in to provide defensive cover.
- Midfield Stability: Despite the recent €500k fine, Aurélien Tchouaméni remains a central part of the squad. With Fede Valverde still sidelined due to his head injury, the Frenchman will likely anchor the midfield tonight.
- Fresh Blood: Young talents Mastantuono and Yáñez keep their places as the club begins to look toward the future.

RMxtra Verdict: A Night for Pride
With the La Liga title officially in Barcelona’s hands, tonight isn’t about the points—it’s about the badge. The Bernabéu crowd is expected to be vocal following Florentino Pérez’s press conference and the ongoing Mourinho negotiations.
The players need to show that they are still committed to the project. All eyes will be on the interaction between Tchouaméni and the fans, and whether Mbappé can finish the season on a high note before the “Special One” arrives to take charge.
