Real Madrid's chances to beat Barcelona this evening have been hindered quite a bit, as one of their key players will not be around to face Los Culés in the Supercopa de España semi-final.
The team seemed to be in shape prior to the start of the match, aside from Gareth Bale's absence that was revealed before the team traveled to Saudi Arabia. While letting the world know the names of the players that will begin the match, it was revealed that David Alaba, one of Ancelotti's main men in defense and quite arguably the best summer signing for the Spanish side, will not be available for this evening's game.
According to reports close to the team, Alaba's diagnosis had to do with muscular problems which prevented him from being fully fit for this game. The same reports suggest that Los Blancos could have the player around for the Supercopa final if they end up qualifying for that game.
Here's Real Madrid's lineup for this game.
