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:

The upcoming match is against the Levante, who are currently positioned 4th and have won last two matches in La Liga. First I would like to see the injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Suspended : Bale (Red card) Just recovered: Jovic  James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot, Casemiro, Militao and Vinicius had just one practice session. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to play but need to be careful Vinicius has his confidence, but need to mature So the line up seems Hazard to start but will play for 60 mins or so, and will be replaced by Vinicius. With Bale not available the right wing should be owned by Vinicius, but as there are other injury worries Vinicius will only be used as a substitute and Lucas Vazquez will start in th...

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24.  Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow,  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. Looking at the  Injury list: Asensio Mariano James Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team. Suspended : None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension. Just recovered: Hazard He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter. Practiced: Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. Others are practicing with the team. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: None. Other Comments: This is a crucial game...

Shaktar Donetsk Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match against Shaktar Donetsk is an away game in the Champions league match day 5.  The last Real Madrid game was against Alaves which was the worst performance of the season. This was pathetic display in every department leading to a dismal loss. It was the 1st home defeat to Alaves in 20 years, says volumes about the teams display. The team had 20 shots, of which 9 were on target and only 1 goal which meant the intensity in attack was totally missing. The team rating for the match against Alaves can be found here:  Team Rating This is the fifth game of the group stage and Real have no option but to win this for their fans and for themselves and to keep their chance of progression alive. Looking at the Injury list: Ramos Odriozola Valverde Hazard Carvajal Suspended : None Just recovered: Militao Benzema Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: There is no explanation.

Real Madrid Vs Levante: The Starting 11 Post Match

I Suggested the following starting 11: Zidane had slightly different plan. He made just one change Started Vinicius instead of Hazard on the left. All other changes were during the match and were  Casemiro was replaced by Hazard (Casemiro was tired and had a long flight and jet lag) and this meant James had to drop to the centre deeper. Ramos with slight discomfort went out and Militao replaced him (Like for Like, and a cautionary substitution looking ahead into the next matches) Benzema was replaced by Jovic (Again another Like for like change) and giving some more for the new and recovered player to get adapted to the new side, at the same time give some rest for Benzema. If we analyze Real are still loose in the back and the defenders are not consolidating their usual authority. With Casemiro it is slightly stronger than with any other holding mid-fielder replacing him.  Final comment for the team after the match is  Finishing: ...
