Real Madrid are expected to give Marc Cucurella his first start at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, with the summer signing in line to be the only alteration to Jose Mourinho's starting XI against Real Sociedad.
According to AS, Mourinho is not planning a major overhaul for Real Madrid's first home match of the 2026/27 La Liga season.
Instead, the Portuguese coach is expected to keep faith with a side close to his strongest available lineup, with Cucurella's introduction at left-back standing out as the key change.
The match could therefore offer the Bernabeu faithful their first proper look at one of the club's notable summer arrivals from the opening whistle.
Cucurella has already had his first taste of action in a Real Madrid shirt, coming off the bench against Espanyol, but Wednesday's clash against Real Sociedad is expected to mark his first start.
