Real Madrid Vs Granada: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Granada at home, currently they are 2nd on the leader-board in the league and Madrid are at the top.

They are in top form and have lost just one game.





First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Mendy
  3. Marcelo (Relapse of injury)
  4. Nacho
  5. Courtois
Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:

1.   Isco (no game time yet)

Practiced:

All except the injured lot.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • Zidane confirmed unavailability of Courtois. 
  • Question: Bale as left wing-back?
Zidane: “No, I haven't been thinking about that at all. I believe that we've got other options ahead of that one. Militão is an option, he's a defender and has played there. He's also played at right wing-back. It's an option".
  • Zidane: “There is no hierarchy. When you've got a squad like ours, you can't say that any one player is more important than another. My players train well and want to play. I'm the one that decides and the players have to be ready.”
Other Comments:
  • Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius, Brahim and Mariano aren’t called up for technical decision 
As Mendy, Nacho and Marcelo are all injured the left back position is vacant. Zidane might play Militao as a left back or will have a 3 men defence with Casemiro guarding the defence from Mid-field.
So, it will be either Militao, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal or Ramos, Varane and Carvajal.

In the goal Courtois is not available and Areola is playing really well. So, undoubtedly he will start.

As Isco has not got game time is a clear choice for substitution having just recovered from injury. As James is fresh after being rested during mid-week game and Modric had played full 90 minutes, ideally James should start and Modric should be option for substitution.

So, mid-field will have Kroos, Casemiro and James.  

Hazard, Benzema and Bale should start. And will have Rodrygo and Jovic as substitutes for Hazard and Benzema.


With the Squad news:



So the final starting 11 will be:
