CONFIRMED lineups for Real Sociedad v Real Madrid clash

After last night's drama-filled showdown between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at the Montjuic, another huge match is waiting for us at the Reale Arena where Real Sociedad will host Real Madrid for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

'Los Blancos' count several major absences from their squad, with Kylian Mbappe arguably being the biggest one. The French superstar will be missing due to a toothache that also ruled him out from Tuesday's training session with the group. 

Real Madrid head coach Ancelotti will also be deprived of the services of Courtois and Valverde due to minor injuries. As for the home side, Pacheco and Traore are the absentees but there is also good news as Zubeldia and Becker are both back from suspension.
