Eden Hazard
The Belgian looks to be his old self again after returning to action from a five-month-long injury lay-off. Hazard, who joined Madrid from Chelsea in the summer, has endured a difficult time at the club in his first few months with poor form and injuries disrupting his settling in new surroundings. But post the COVID-19 break, he has looked in fine touch and has already assisted twice in two games. He should be fresh and sitting out of the previous and will be eager to get the first goal since November.
Karim Benzema
The Frenchman is also back to his best and has already thrice since the restart, including two against Valencia. Benzema is only behind Lionel Messi in the La Liga scoring chart and will be eager to catch the Argentine quickly with a flurry of goals in his next couple of matches. Benzema has 17 goals while Messi has 21.
Takefusa Kubo
A former La Masia academy cadet and currently on loan from Real Madrid at Mallorca, Kubo will hope to prove his worth against his parent club and also try and persuade Real coach Zinedine Zidane into making him part of his plans for next season. The Japanese has undoubtedly been Mallorca’s best midfielder since joining them in January. His ball retention, dribbling prowess and key passes will be important if Mallorca are to cause an upset.
