Real Madrid hosts Getafe CF at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday, March 2, 2026. After a surprising 2–1 loss to Osasuna, Alvaro Arbeloa’s team wants to get back on track and chip away at Barcelona’s four-point lead at the top. The title race is heating up, and with 60 points from 25 games, Madrid sits second, desperate not to let Barca pull away.
Getafe, down in 14th, have their own motivation. They’re trying to put some breathing room between themselves and the relegation zone, and they’d love nothing more than to upset their neighbours in this Madrid mini-derby. With some of Real’s big names out injured, Arbeloa has to count on the rest of his squad to step up.

Real Madrid Team News and Injury Updates
Kylian Mbappe’s still out, dealing with that nagging left knee issue that’s really messed up his 2026 season so far. Jude Bellingham’s sidelined too—his hamstring just isn’t holding up. There’s a bit of good news, though. Dean Huijsen is finally back in the squad after his calf problem, but don’t expect to see him start. He’ll probably begin on the bench while he gets fully fit.
Things took another turn in the last training session. Eduardo Camavinga had to sit out because of a nasty dental problem. The team isn’t sure yet if he’ll be ready as he’s a last-minute call. At least Rodrygo is back after three weeks out, which gives Arbeloa some much-needed firepower up front. Still, Eder Militao, Raul Asencio, and Dani Ceballos are all definitely missing this one.
Getafe Team News and Injury Updates
Off the pitch, travel plans mix with team worries for Getafe. Missing their leader at the back, they face tough timing, Djene Dakonam sits out after seeing red last match. Without him, the defensive wall thins just when Madrid's flair, driven by Vinicius Junior, comes knocking. Strength on paper fades when experience walks away.
Real Madrid vs Getafe Lineups (Predicted)
Real Madrid:
Thibaut Courtois, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Alvaro Carreras, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz (likely to start if Eduardo Camavinga is unfit), Vinicius Junior, Gonzalo Garcia
