"Madrid were beaten 3-2 by Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday evening, a result that prompted the departure of Xabi Alonso as coach less than 24 hours later. Alvaro Arbeloa is the new man in the hotseat, although the club were vague as to whether he is an interim or permanent successor to Alonso. His first test comes tonight against Segunda Division opposition."
"Jude Bellingham was one of four senior Real Madrid players left out of Arbeloa's first squad, alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni, Alvaro Carreras and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The decision to leave out Bellingham and Co is surprising given the number of injury setbacks the club have suffered in recent weeks. Madrid are currently without Kylian Mbappe, although he did make an appearance as a late substitute against Barcelona at the weekend, Rodrygo, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ferland Mendy."
Real Madrid face Albacete in the Copa del Rey with Alvaro Arbeloa in charge following Xabi Alonso's departure after a 3-2 Super Cup defeat to Barcelona. The club did not clarify whether Arbeloa's appointment is interim or permanent. Albacete sit 17th in the Segunda Division and have not won in their last four league games, with Jon García, Higinio Marin and Antonio Puertas injured. Real Madrid omitted Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Alvaro Carreras and Thibaut Courtois from Arbeloa's first squad and remain affected by several key injuries, including Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo.
