Real Madrid will aim to reduce the gap to Barcelona to just one point when they travel to San Mamés on Wednesday night at 21:00 CEST, but they face a challenging task against an unbeaten Athletic Club side. The hosts are on a nine-match unbeaten run, while Real Madrid will be looking to continue their defensive resurgence, having not conceded in their last three La Liga games.

The big news for Los Blancos is the return of Aurelien Tchouameni from injury. According to Diario AS, he will be immediately reinstated in midfield alongside Fede Valverde, Luka Modric, and Jude Bellingham. Raul Asencio is expected to continue in defence, and Fran Garcia will start over Ferland Mendy.

Marca is confident that Rodrygo Goes will start ahead of Brahim Diaz, and they predict Mendy will return for the crucial match. However, Real Madrid will still be without Eduardo Camavinga, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, and Vinicius Junior.

Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has yet to confirm whether Unai Simon or Julen Agirrezabala will start in goal, though Agirrezabala is expected to get the nod. Ander Herrera has suffered a setback with a muscle injury, but otherwise, Los Leones are in strong shape.

There could be a surprise in the starting XI with Inaki Williams being dropped for Alex Berenguer. It also seems likely that Gorka Guruzeta will start ahead of the in-form Oihan Sancet.
