On Thursday, January 9, Real Madrid will face Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal, but Luka Modrić will not be available for the "Whites."
Details: The club has officially announced that the Croatian midfielder will miss the match due to a viral illness. It remains unclear how many games he will be sidelined for, with further updates expected in the coming days.
The match against Mallorca will kick off at 20:00 Central European Time. The winner of this game will face Barcelona in the final.
Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti has decided that from now on, Vinícius Júnior will be Real Madrid's designated penalty taker. In their previous game against Valencia, Jude Bellingham missed a penalty, and earlier this season, Kylian Mbappé had already failed to convert twice.
Reminder: Vinícius Júnior will miss Real Madrid's next two La Liga matches against Las Palmas and Valladolid due to suspension.
