Coach Comments:

• Nothing specific

Other Comments:

• With the rest provided to Vinicius and short time play for Rodrygo, both are hot to start. Same goes for Modric as well.

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 the only available option, he should start.  So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with the great work over the past few games by the defence.

In the goal Courtois will start, having got few good games in the past, things look definitely positive.

All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. Casemiro is on 5 yellow cards, and will not be available. So, it is going to be Modric, Kroos and Valverde. 

As Lucas Vazquez and Hazard have been injured Isco, Bale, Vinicius and Rodrygo are the go to options. As Bale and Isco played bulk of the game.  So, Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. and will have Bale, Isco, James and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate of others.

So the final starting 11 will be:

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 having not played against Valencia should start.  So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with the great work over the past few games by the defence.

In the goal Courtois will start, having got few good games in the past, things look definitely positive.

All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. Casemiro is on 4 yellow cards, but its not going to matter as he will be available fresh after being rested against Valencia. So, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. 

Isco will be seen as a substitute and so will be Modric for Valverde or Kroos depending on the score line.

As Lucas Vazquez and Hazard have been injured Bale, Vinicius and Rodrygo are the go to options. So, Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. and will have Bale, James and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate of others.

So the final starting 11 will be:

Other Comments:

• With the rest given to Bale, it is time for him to start.

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 start. Odriozola played during the mid-week game in Champions league and so it provided much needed rest to Carvajal. So Nacho, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with the great work over the past few games by the defence.

In the goal Courtois will start, having got some rest with Areola playing one game, things look definitely positive.

All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. As Casemiro is on 4 yellow cards, he will be rested and try to be available for El clasico. So, it is going to be Valverde, Kroos and Modric. 

Isco has played during the Brugge game and will make way for Bale, Isco will be seen as a substitute and Casemiro for Modric or Kroos depending on the score line.

As Lucas Vazquez and James have been injured and Vinicius has played full 90 minutes, he should rest. So, Bale, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. and will have Vinicius, Brahim and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate of others.

So the final starting 11 will be:

Club Brugge Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Club Brugge away from home, currently they are 3rd and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With already qualified to the next round, ZZ will give rest to few of the starters and give chance to non starters and may run a few experiments.

First I would like to see the 

Injury list:

1. Asensio
2. James
3. Lucas Vazquez
4. Hazard
5. Marcelo

Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:

Other Comments:

• Bale will play and there might be several experiments.

Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for preparation for next few games, with all the teams neck to neck. As Marcelo is injured and Mendy is red carded for La Liga and will miss the next game, he should certainly start. Ramos might get some rest, as this match is of less importance and so should Varane. So Mendy, Nacho, Militao and Odriozola will start. This will give game time to all and provide options for experiment.

In the goal Areola will start, and Courtois will rest for next matches.

All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. This game might give ZZ to provide rest to Casemiro and start Modric, Isco and Valverde. And have Casemiro and Kroos as substitute.

As Lucas Vazquez and James have been injured and Rodrygo should start on right but its a good chance to give Brahim Diaz a chance. So, Vinicius, Jovic and Brahim should start. and will have Bale, Rodrygo and Benzema as substitutes depending on the work rate.

So the final starting 11 will be:
