Team News

Real Madrid
Real Madrid head into the Super Cup without any injury concerns bedevilling Ancelotti, although Reinier Jesus has been absent from training in anticipation of another loan move away from the club.

Ancelotti must decide whether to hand competitive debuts to Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni here, but the duo are seemingly fighting an uphill battle to become regular starters this season.

As was the case last year, Rodrygo may be kept on the bench until required, with Federico Valverde being given the nod to join Benzema and Vinicius in the final third.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

Eintracht Frankfurt
As for Frankfurt, Glasner has already ruled defender Jerome Onguene out of the Super Cup, with the 24-year-old still sidelined with a troublesome thigh problem, and Aurelio Buta is recovering from knee surgery.

The German side otherwise have no players in the treatment room - Hrvoje Smolcic will also return from a domestic suspension - but Glasner still has some key decisions to make after the manner of his side's humiliating loss to Bayern.

Jesper Lindstrom, Sebastian Rode and Rafael Borre were all taken off at half time in that game, with the latter's replacement, Randal Kolo Muani, scoring his side's consolation after his move from Nantes.

Borre may still be preferred from the start in Helsinki given his exploits in the Europa League last season - the Colombian scored three goals in their final four games in the tournament, including the equaliser in the final against Rangers.

Meanwhile, Filip Kostic has seemingly played his final game for Frankfurt as he closes in on a move to Juventus, which should therefore see Christopher Lenz start on the left-hand side.
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:
Trapp; Toure, Ndicka, Tuta; Knauff, Sow, Rode, Lenz; Gotze, Kamada; Borre
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
