Jose Mourinho will not have his entire squad to choose from when making his lineup today, since a significant amount of players are sidelined with injuries.
Eder Militao is back in training but is unlikely to be fit enough to start the first game of the season. Ferland Mendy, Raul Asencio, Aurelien Tchouameni, Thiago Pitarch, and Endrick are all on the sidelines but are expected to be healthy sometime next month.
Rodrygo is recovering from an ACL tear that will keep him out until around the turn of the year.

Real Sociedad is starting the season incredibly healthy compared to Real Madrid. Right back Alvaro Odriozola is still recovering from an ACL injury suffered last season, and is unlikely to play until November.
Pablo Martin and Jon Gorrotxategi are both doubtful to play after picking up knocks in recent weeks.
