Real Madrid Names Injury-Hit Starting Lineup for Sevilla Final Away Game

Real Madrid will face Sevilla in their final away match of the season, a game that holds little significance as the league title has already been secured by their rivals and Madrid is locked into second place. Coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is departing at season's end, has named a lineup affected by a significant injury crisis, with many key players unavailable and several young or less-used players starting, including Andriy Lunin in goal, Jacobo Ramón and Jesús Vallejo in defense, and forwards Kylian Mbappé and Endrick. Aurélien Tchouaméni returns from suspension to the midfield, joining Luka Modric, Arda Guler, and Jude Bellingham, though Bellingham and others face suspension risks due to yellow cards. Sevilla, sitting 14th, also contend with injuries but have more key players available compared to Madrid, and their coach Joaquín Caparrós is expected to field a stronger squad. Given the circumstances, Ancelotti's focus appears to be on managing player rotation and providing opportunities to less regular players as he prepares to hand over the reins. Both teams enter the match with limited stakes but with the opportunity for Real Madrid to bid farewell to Ancelotti with a positive result.
