US EditionReal Madrid Face Uphill Battle as “Game of the Year” Looms
Vinícius is suspended after five yellow cards and Bellingham is sidelined with a hamstring tear, while Madrid awaits returns from injured defenders, coach said.
- Real Madrid travel to Valencia without Vinicius Júnior and Jude Bellingham for their La Liga match at Mestalla on Sunday.
- Bellingham's injury and Vinicius' booking followed when Jude Bellingham suffered a confirmed left hamstring muscle tear and Vinicius Júnior received his fifth yellow card suspension last Sunday, while Raúl Asencio manages a right shin crack.
- With no midweek game, Madrid will have the first of two consecutive weeks with time to train and face a rare 12 straight days without a match, while Trent Alexander‑Arnold, Antonio Rüdiger and Ferland Mendy remain not fully match‑fit.
- Valencia will treat the fixture as its game of the year at Mestalla, where Madrid have just three wins in their last 11 league visits, scoring 17 goals and conceding 19.
- With morale and momentum dented, Madrid will focus on tactical work during the training window while being short‑handed and bruised after survival efforts.
