Real Madrid has confirmed its squad for the Champions League match against Roma, which will take place next Wednesday at the Olympic Stadium in Rome at 9:00 p.m. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has included all the available players, leaving out the injured Asensio and Rodrygo, as well as the central defender Militao, who although he has already returned to training, is not part of the squad for the match. Goalkeeper Mendy has also been excluded for not being registered on the competition list. For his part, center back Huijsen, who was absent in the last game against Villarreal due to a suspension, returns to the squad and is expected to start the game.
The Madrid team will leave Madrid at 3:00 p.m. to head to the Italian capital, where they will not train at the Olympic Stadium. Starting at 6:00 p.m., Ancelotti and a selected player will appear before the media. The squad list is made up of three goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Igor Lunin and David Mestre. The defense includes Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, William Konaté, Juan Cucurella, Álex Carreras, Manuel Rüdiger and Andrew Robertson. In midfield are Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, Nuno Tchouameni, Arda Güler, Bernardo Silva and Thiago Alcántara. Up front they have Vinícius Júnior, Endrick, Kylian Mbappé, Carlos Rodríguez, Brahim Díaz and Youssef En-Nesyri.
The match against Roma represents an important challenge for Real Madrid, which seeks to consolidate its position in the group stage of the Champions League. The absence of key players due to injury or suspension could affect the balance of the team, although the presence of figures such as Courtois, Bellingham and Mbappé offers solid support. The call-up also reflects Ancelotti's strategy of giving opportunities to young players and maintaining an experienced core in the locker room.
With the aim of advancing in the European competition, Real Madrid is preparing to face a Roma team that has shown a solid performance in recent games. The result of this match will have direct implications in the group table and in the planning of the next phase of the Champions League. Madrid fans hope that the team will achieve a victory that will allow them to consolidate their position and advance with confidence towards the next round.
