Mbappe and Diomande's Status Ahead of Schalke Clash

Real Madrid is preparing to play their final friendly match of the pre-season as they visit Schalke on Sunday at Veltins-Arena, marking the team's last test before the new season kicks off.

Kylian Mbappé and Yan Diomande are set to get minutes during the clash against Schalke, as both are expected to be included in the squad for the match, alongside Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konaté, and Thibaut Courtois.

Meanwhile, doubts linger over the readiness of Endrick, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Jude Bellingham, as Endrick and Tchouaméni are training individually due to physical problems, while Bellingham was the last to return to the team.

Real Madrid will miss a number of players due to injuries, including Marco Asensio, Rodrygo, Éder Militão, and Thiago Pitarich, forcing the coaching staff to manage a depleted squad during the final preparatory match.

The match against Schalke holds special significance as it serves as Real Madrid's final rehearsal before entering the official competition and starting the new season.
