Real Madrid will be without forward Kylian Mbappe and midfielder Jude Bellingham for today's (Wednesday) Copa del Rey quarter-final at Leganes, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on the eve of the match, reports Reuters.
The duo join midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, defenders David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger as well as other long-term defensive absentees Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal on the sidelines.
France captain Mbappe, 26, has scored 21 goals in 33 appearances across all competitions since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu from French champions Paris St Germain on a free transfer in June, while 21-year-old England international Bellingham has netted 10 times in 30 matches.
"Bellingham had a bruise from a knock and will not be available. Vinicius Jr. has been given an extra day to recover, but will be available for tomorrow," Ancelotti told reporters on Tuesday.
