Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Real Madrid could line up for Wednesday's Spanish Super Cup clash with rivals Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid full-back Ferland Mendy is in contention to start Wednesday's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against city rivals Atletico Madrid in Saudi Arabia.

Having missed the last three matches through injury, Mendy has been included in the squad for the Madrid derby following his recent return to training.

While Mendy is available, Lucas Vazquez has been left out due to a hamstring injury alongside long-term absentees Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will have a decision to make in goal, with Andriy Lunin likely to get the nod ahead of Chelsea loanee Kepa Arrizabalaga.

If Mendy is deemed fit to start, he could come into the side to operate in a back four alongside Nacho, Antonio Rudiger and Dani Carvajal.

Toni Kroos is available after being left out of Saturday's Copa del Rey win over third-tier Arandina due to an ankle problem.

The German is expected to feature in the engine room with Federico Valverde and Luka Modric, which would force Aurelien Tchouameni to settle for a place on the bench despite being rested at the weekend.

Jude Bellingham, who is hoping to win his first piece of silverware with Real Madrid this week, will look to add to his 17-goal tally for the season when he lines up behind the front two.

Vinicius Junior was not risked in the 3-1 cup win following his recent return from injury, but he will be ready to join his fellow Brazilian Rodrygo in the frontline for Wednesday's derby clash.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Kroos, Modric, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius
