Bernardo Silva included in Real Madrid squad for Ferencvarosi friendly

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has named Bernardo Silva in his squad for the club’s pre-season friendly against Ferencvarosi in Hungary.

The match will be Real Madrid’s latest preparation fixture ahead of the 2026-27 season, with Mourinho’s side set to travel to Hungary for the meeting. Silva’s inclusion is notable because it marks his first appearance in a Real Madrid squad since joining the club.

Vinicius Junior, Antonio Rudiger and Dean Huijsen have also been recalled after missing Real Madrid’s previous match.

Mourinho has selected 24 players for the fixture, with the squad divided across the goalkeeper, defensive, midfield and attacking positions.

The full Real Madrid squad is:

Goalkeepers: Andriy Lunin, Sergio Mestre and Javi Navarro.

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Carreras, Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen, Denzel Dumfries, Juan Martinez, Lamine Fati and Mario Rivas.

Midfielders: Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Arda Guler, Bernardo Silva, Sastiero, Lacosta and Alexis Ciria.

Forwards: Vinicius Junior, Brahim Diaz, Endrick, Carlos Espe and Dani Yanez.

Silva’s first selection comes as Real Madrid continue their build-up to the new campaign. The Portugal international is one of the most prominent names in the squad for the trip, while the return of Vinicius Junior, Rudiger and Huijsen gives Mourinho additional options after their absence from the last friendly.

Real Madrid’s previous pre-season match ended in a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina. The club will now face Ferencvarosi as preparations continue before the start of competitive football.

The first official match of the season will come away from home against Espanyol in the opening round of La Liga.

The fixture against Ferencvarosi therefore represents another opportunity for Mourinho to assess his squad before that league opener, while Silva will be hoping to make his first appearance since completing his move to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s schedule in Hungary forms part of the club’s preparations for the 2026-27 season, with the team looking to build on its previous friendly and improve its readiness ahead of the opening league weekend. Their meeting with Espanyol will be the first match that counts competitively, but the Ferencvarosi game will provide another test for a squad containing a mixture of established players and those seeking to establish themselves under Mourinho.
