Eden Hazard has dropped out of Real Madrid's squad for Saturday's La Liga game against Mallorca at San Moix at the last minute.

The Belgian will miss the game following the birth of his fourth child, with his place in the squad taken by former Lyon striker Mariano Diaz. 

Dani Carvajal is also missing, although seemingly for technical reasons. However, there's a place for Brahim, a January signing from Manchester City, in the 19-man squad. 

The one player to miss out will presumably be third choice goalkeeper Diego Altube.

THE SQUAD 

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Areola & Altube

Defenders: Marcelo, Militão, Ramos, Varane, Odriozola & Mendy

Midfielders: Casemiro, Isco, Valverde & James

 

Forwards: Benzema, Jovic, Vinicius, Brahim, Rodrygo & Mariano
