Arbeloa talks Mbappe, Bellingham, Vinicius, Militao ahead of Mallorca vs Real Madrid The first international break of 2026 is out of the way and Real Madrid return to action on Saturday afternoon as they take on RCD Mallorca away at Son Moix. With the Merengues still trailing league leaders Barcelona by four points, they cannot afford a slip-up, especially with the Catalans facing a tricky fixture against Atletico Madrid later in the night. Ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Mallorca, Real Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa addressed the media, providing an update on the squad and discussing various other topics.
“The international players have all returned healthy, thankfully. And that’s the primary objective. It’s been a very positive break for most of them, as they’ve been getting playing time,” the Los Blancos head coach said kicking things off.
Talking about the challenge that awaits the team tomorrow, he added: “And we’re already aware of the demands of tomorrow’s match, because Mallorca needs the points just as much as we do. We’re ready. It’s never easy to play away from home after a break.
There are nine finals left, and tomorrow is the first one. ” Regarding the possibility of rotations for the game, considering the workload of the returning international players, Arbeloa said: “I plan to field the best team to win the match. We have three matches in six days, all extremely demanding; there’s no room for error.
“And tomorrow I’ll field the best possible team.
