Real Madrid will face Ferencvárosi in a preseason friendly tonight at the Groupama Arena in Budapest.
The fixture will be José Mourinho's side's second formal preseason test after a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in Austria.
Mourinho will once again be without several key players, including Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Marc Cucurella, and Aurélien Tchouaméni, following their involvement in the World Cup. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is also unavailable as he continues to recover from a thigh injury, with Andriy Lunin expected to start in goal.
Mario Rivas and Joan Martínez could feature at center back, with Éder Militão and Raúl Asencio still sidelined.
Fans hoping to see Madrid's big signing Yan Diomandé will have to wait a little longer. Although the teenager has joined squad training he is not expected to feature tonight.
On the other hand, Bernardo Silva, Brahim Díaz, Carlos Espi, and Denzel Dumfries are all expected to see some playing time.
