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.

There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late.
