Eibar Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Eibar away from home, currently they are at 14th and Real are at 2nd on the leader-board. With a draw in the last match Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.
Standings



First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Nacho
Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:
  1. Lucas Vazquez
  2. James
  3. Bale

Practiced:

 Bale, James and Marcelo are not training with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • Nothing specific
Other Comments:
    • Marcelo might have a small injury and might miss.
    • Carvajal: Commenting that no one doubts the commitment of Bale and James, he would also leave early during matches if not playing, it doesn't mean any less commitment.
    Squad Updates:



    This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all team neck to neck. With Marcelo being slightly injured Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with the great work over the past games.
    In the goal Courtois will start, with clean sheets in the last 4 games, things look positive.

    As Modric has not played the full 90 minutes in the last game, I would prefer him to start,  so it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Modric. Isco will be seen as a substitute for Kroos and Valverde for Modric or Casemiro depending on the score line.

    As Bale and James have not been playing it is tough to say if they will start but Rodrygo having played full 90 minutes should be rested. So, Hazard, Benzema and Bale or Lucas Vazquez should start. And will have Vinicius and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate.


    So the final starting 11 will be:




    Update: Lucas Vazquez to play instead of Bale, as he is not practicing with the team.

    The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

    Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...

    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. Other Comments: Again there ...

First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Lucas Vazquez Hazard Marcelo Suspended : 1.   Mendy   Just recovered: Nacho, James Practiced: Asensio, Hazard and Lucas Vázquez continue with their recovery processes.

Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Varane back playing regularly we will have him in the starting 11 and as Marcelo has a muscular injury he should miss and Mendy has a red card so Nacho should sta...
