Real Madrid Vs Athletic Bilbao: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Athletic Bilbao at home, currently they are at 7th and Real are 2nd of the leader-board. With equal points as Barcelona Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.



First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Lucas Vazquez
  3. Hazard
  4. Marcelo
Suspended:

1. Casemiro (5 yellow cards) 

Just recovered:
  1. James
Practiced:

Asensio, Hazard and Lucas Vázquez continue with their recovery processes. James is back with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

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:
