Overview
- José Mourinho announced the exact same matchday squad for the away game at Elche as the group that faced Rayo Vallecano.
- The call-up includes key attackers and midfielders such as Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Yan Diomande, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.
- Defensive options Antonio Rüdiger and Trent Alexander-Arnold are in the squad while Eder Militao and Ferland Mendy remain unavailable.
- Rodrygo Goes has not returned to the squad and will miss the trip to Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero with kickoff set for 9:30 p.m.
- The continuity is aimed at building on a recent 4-1 win over Rayo Vallecano but Mourinho may still rotate his starting XI to manage player load, with Aurélien Tchouaméni a possible starter.
