Alonso searching for first win in charge with Mbappe ruled out
Time to deliver: Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid vs Pachuca LIVE!
Real Madrid take on Mexican side Pachuca in their second group game of the Club World Cup.
Xabi Alonso’s side travel to Charlotte, North Carolina, looking to make amends for a stuttering performance in their opener, where they were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida on Wednesday. For much of that match, Madrid were second best, and Alonso will be hoping for a marked improvement this time around.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen made their much-anticipated debuts that night, but neither were able to help Los Blancos to a three points that would have set their summer campaign off to the perfect start. Both are in line for another start here, while Kylian Mbappe will not feature after he was discharged from hospital earlier this week. The French striker missed the opening game after suffering a bout of gastroenteritis, and he was replaced up front by young striker Gonzalo Garcia, who opened the scoring with a neat chipped finish against Al-Hilal.
