Sevilla vs. Real Madrid lineups, predicted starting 11, team news, injuries: Vinicius Jr still out

Now that the La Liga title has officially been handed to their rivals, Real Madrid's remaining two league games are utterly meaningless.

On 78 points through 36 matches, Madrid are mathematically locked into second place in the standings, meaning there is nothing they can do to improve or fall from their position.

That means Carlo Ancelotti's final two games in charge can instead be about his departure and rotation, given the club's insane injury list.

Sevilla's last two matches are also largely meaningless, as they sit 14th in the standings with a seven-point cushion above the relegation zone and a seven-point gap behind the European places.

Sevilla vs. Real Madrid lineups, predicted starting 11, team news

Sevilla picked up a litany of injuries in their last match, a 1-0 win over Las Palmas at home on Tuesday. Defender Kike Salas was withdrawn just before halftime with a muscle problem, and he is likely to miss out.

The news is better for Alvaro Garcia Pascual and Djibril Sow who were also taken off early, but they still have work to do to pass fit as they were forced to train individually on Friday. If Pascual misses out, Isaac Romero should start up front after being suspended last match due to yellow-card accumulation.

Arsenal loanee Albert Lokonga returned to training in full and should be good to go despite also being subbed off early last match. That means the only holdover injuries for Sevilla are Akor Adams, Tanguy Nianzou, and Ruben Vargas, who are all expected to miss out.

Sevilla predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Nyland (GK) — J. Sanchez, Bade, R. Martinez, Carmona — Agoume, Gudelj — Suso, Lokonga, Lukebakio — Romero

Injured: Pascual (undisclosed, doubt), Sow (undisclosed, doubt), Salas (muscle), Adams (thigh), Hormigo (muscle), Nianzou (thigh), Vargas (hamstring)
Suspended: None

Nearly the entire Real Madrid first-team squad is dealing with some kind of injury. Only Kylian Mbappe is fit amongst the top three, with Vinicius Jr. recovering from an ankle injury and Rodrygo suffering from a thigh problem sustained in training.

At the back, it's even worse, as Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy, and Lucas Vazquez are all missing. Aurelien Tchouameni returns from suspension, but it's unclear whether he'll return along the back or if he can slot into midfield, after young Jacobo Ramon had a debut to remember against Mallorca.

Brahim Diaz is absent with a muscle problem, while Jude Bellingham is likely to get shoulder surgery at some point to fix a long-term issue, although when remains a main question.

Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-4-2, right to left): Courtois (GK) — Valverde, Ramon, Asencio, F. Garcia — Guler, Ceballos, Tchouameni, Bellingham — Endrick, Mbappe

Injured: Lunin (hand, doubt), Rodrygo (hamstring, doubt), Vinicius Jr (ankle), Rudiger (knee), B. Diaz (thigh), Carvajal (ACL), Alaba (knee), Militao (ACL), Camavinga (groin), Mendy (quad), L. Vazquez (thigh)
Suspended: None
