Real Madrid will try to survive a home game with midfielder RCD Mallorca on Sunday as they prepare for a brief spell without talisman Karim Benzema.
The French forward suffered a sprained hamstring in the Champions League group stage opener earlier in the week against Celtic, limping in the first portion and being replaced by Eden Hazard. Belgium's substitute would score in the eventual 3-0 win, but Benzema's sprain mars an excellent performance in Scotland.
The whites are first in the LaLiga table, four perfect victories in four until the belt's appearance this season. It wasn't always understandable to concede a goal in every game and not help keep a clean sheet to this day, but the three points have been achievLaLiga ed every time.
After finishing 16th last season, Mallorca has picked up five points from their opening four matches and has been on a high against Girona more recently. Early performance is enough for 11th place in the table behind only Valencia and Real Sociedad.

Suppose there is no schedule for Benzema With his full recovery from his hamstring sprain. In that case, it is believed he will miss at least this joint and could potentially be in doubt for next season's Champions League match week against RB Leipzig and the Madrid derby this weekend.
Eden Hazard replaced Benzema and scored against Celtic, later praised by Carlo Ancelotti, who described it as "a perfect game" for the Belgian. That could see Hazard start against Mallorca when a doctored nine is used or a little deeper, as Ancelotti put it.
In midfield, Aurelien Tshouameni started his life at Real Madrid brilliantly, taking the late Casemiro's exemption with phlegm.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti has spun behind Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Antonio Rudiger in central the latter.

Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre has kept his authentic line constant until the start of the La Liga season.
In the subsequent match, Aguirre made only one change, sending authentic snack Clemens Grenier into the middle in jail for Antonio Sanchez. Grenier had received a yellow plastic in each of the team's first three games, meaning there are risks with his future presence.
Forward Kang-in Lee, a 21-year-old South Korea youth international, was one of the best strikers in the band earlier in the year, scoring a goal and two assists in the first four games of the season. He is a dribbling machine, second in LaLiga with ten successful counter-attacks, just one behind Real Betis' William Carvalho.
Real Madrid is the excellent favorite despite the uncertainty surrounding Karim Benzema's sprain. The Whites showed for a portion of the week that they are dangerous even in the Frenchman's brief retirement, although anything in the splendid term could expose an entirely different problem.
At the Bernabeu, there is plenty of offensive talent at the moment to cover up Benzema's abandonment, and Mallorca will do admissibly to prevent the others from scoring at will.
Mallorca has only managed once against Real Madrid in their last 12 meetings, a 1-0 result at home in 2019. Since then, they have lost to Madrid three times in a row with a combined 11-1 defeat by 6-1 at home. The Bernabéu a year ago.
