He has started practicing with the team but still a doubt to play as a starter.

Coach Comments:

Defence has been doing good and is now our strength.

Other Comments:

This is a crucial game and the team had a good outing in terms of goals in the Copa del Rey against a good rival.

Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for the La liga title race.

In the goal Courtois will start and will start fresh after the rest during the Copa del Rey game, he had several good games in the past, things look definitely very positive for Courtois and Real Madrid.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy will start on the left after the rest during the last game and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form and is expected to prevent the occasional errors those have led to the goals in the past games.

All the five super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Isco and Casemiro. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ. Taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Modric, Casemiro and Kroos in the middle. James and Valverde will be on the bench. And Isco will start in the attack.

As Hazard and Asensio have been injured and Bale is just recovered he would not start. After several injuries and returns it will be Benzema, Valverde and Isco to start. And Jovic, Vinicus and Lucas Vazquez should be on the bench.

So the formation would be 4 3 3, with Isco and Valverde on the wings.

So the final starting 11 will be:

The upcoming match is against Alaves away from home in the La liga match day 20. The last Real Madrid game was against Alcoyano which was a shameful result after a pathetic display in midfield but as always there were several opportunities wasted by the forwards. The team rating for the match against Alcoyano can be found here: Team Rating From now on all games are like do or die as there is already a huge gap at the top. Real have no option but to win this fixture at any cost. Last year this fixture was a 1-2 Win but we have already lost to Alaves this season at home 2-1.

None Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced: Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. 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.

PSG Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against the PSG in Paris, they too have several injury and form worries themselves. Current Squad Declared with Uefa: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2020/clubs/club=50051/squad/ (Source: Uefa.com) First I would like to see the injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Marcelo Suspended : Ramos Nacho Just recovered: Jovic James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to start " BBH Sounds good" Benzema to be the leader without Ramos and Marcelo. So the line up seems Hazard to start on the left but will have a backup in Vinicius. With Bale getting rest in la liga is certain to start on the right and switch to left time to time. James has been playing well and with most of the other mid fielders injures is certain to play behind Benzema. Kroos and Casemiro will control the game in the mid. With the suspens...
