Confirmed squad: This is how Real Madrid travel to El Sadar

Madrid—Real Madrid will step onto El Sadar’s pitch tomorrow for matchday 25 against Osasuna, and interim coach Álvaro Arbeloa has already locked the travelling party. The most notable absence is teenage centre-back Dean Huijsen, who learned earlier today that a muscle tear will keep him out of action for roughly three weeks.

Beyond the medical bulletin, the fixture carries extra edge. It marks Vinicius Júnior’s first public appearance since the heated exchange with Alejo Prestianni in Lisbon, and club sources expect the Brazilian forward to address the media after the final whistle, ending a self-imposed silence that has dominated headlines all week.

Arbeloa’s list, released late Monday evening, will be the only selection the club offers until warm-ups begin in Pamplona, leaving supporters and analysts to parse every inclusion ahead of a contest that could prove pivotal to Madrid’s late-season momentum.
