Overview
- Real Madrid manager José Mourinho announced the travelling squad for the Teresa Herrera match against Deportivo La Coruña and left out 11 first‑team players for fitness and injury reasons.
- High‑profile absentees include Kylian Mbappé, Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Éder Militão, Marc Cucurella and new signing Yan Diomandé, who Mourinho has chosen not to rush into action.
- Summer signings Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi and Denzel Dumfries are included in the party and will be available for selection in the friendly.
- Jude Bellingham remains absent from the Deportivo trip but is expected to join the squad later this week as the club builds minutes ahead of the La Liga restart.
- Mourinho has continued to give academy players game time in short preseason friendlies as he balances conditioning work with the need to evaluate depth before the competitive season begins.
