Real Madrid Vs Leganes: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Leganes at home, currently they are at the bottom of the leader-board, where as Real is 6th with a game in hand. This is a must win after a devastating loss against lowly placed Mallorca and dropping the lead.

They have had a very bad start but have won the last league match to boost their confidence.

Madrid is not going to take any risks this time.

First I would like to see the 

Injury list:

1. Asensio
2. Nacho
3. Bale

Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:

1. Modric
2. Lucas Vazquez
3. Mendy

Practiced:

All except the injured lot.

Skipped Practice:

None (Bale)

Coach Comments:

• Zidane : “Yes, they were injured," Zidane said. "Everyone here is indispensable, all 25 [players], but they were the two injured ones and we didn't want to risk them."

Other Comments:

• Speculation is Bale is having problem with ZZ and this has caused him to be out of the squad, and it has got less to do with injury.

Squad Updates:

This is a do or die game to be in the title race, with the defensive lapses of the past, there will be no experiments. No non-sense four, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will be certain to start.

In the goal Courtois will start with a better performance at Galatasaray, things look positive.

As Modric has just recovered he will be a sub in the midfield, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. 

As Bale is injured and did not practice, Hazard, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. And will have Vinicius and Jovic as substitutes.

So the final starting 11 will be:

Update:

As James is not training on 29th October, he is also expected to be out of the squad.
