Third-bottom Mallorca need a draw to move level on points with Elche immediately outside the relegation zone.

Captain and centre-back Antonio Raillo is out with a knock for Mallorca, who are also without goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom.

On-loan Roma centre-half Marash Kumbulla and forward Takuma Asano return on the bench.

The hosts’ five international players – Vedat Muriqi, Martin Valjent, Samuel Costa, Johan Mojica and Jan Virgili – did not suffer any issues with their countries, which Demichelis called “important”.

“Before they left, I asked them to understand the situation we’re in so they could return as soon as possible,” he explained.

“They all did and they were always in communication with us… [they] are available to be included; it’s a personal decision now.”

Spain Under-21 winger Virgili is the only one of the five not to start.

Mallorca starting XI: Leo Roman, Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Omar Mascarell, Johan Mojica, Samuel Costa, Manu Morlanes, Pablo Torre, Sergi Darder, Zito Luvumbo, Vedat Muriqi

Mallorca substitutes: Ivan Cuellar, Mateu Jaume, Toni Lato, Marash Kumbulla, Antonio Sanchez, Abdon Prats, Takuma Asano, Jan Virgili, Mateo Joseph, Javi Llabres, David Lopez, Justin Kalumba Jr

Real Madrid full line up vs Mallorca

Alvaro Arbeloa makes five changes from the 3-2 home win over Atletico Madrid on March 22.

Top scorer Kylian Mbappe is fit again after a knee injury, while 22-year-old midfielder Manuel Angel makes his full debut.

Trent Alexander Arnold, Alvaro Carreras and Eduardo Camavinga also come in.

Midfielder Federico Valverde is suspended for Madrid but Eder Militao return from a long-term injury on the bench, as does David Alaba on his comeback.

“In top form, he’s arguably the best centre-back in the world,” head coach Alvaro Arbeloa said of Militao.

Midfielder Jude Bellingham was not risked by England but is again among the Madrid substitutes.

Arbeloa admitted that winger Vinicius Junior, who is initially rested on the bench, is “tired, as expected” after playing for Brazil.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (quad) and midfielder Dani Ceballos (calf) are sidelined.

Real Madrid starting XI: Andriy Lunin, Trent Alexander Arnold, Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, Manuel Angel, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, Kylian Mbappe
