Valencia Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Valencia at a neutral stadium in Saudi Arabia which is the Semi Final of the Supercopa, currently they are at 6th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. Being a semi final this is very crucial, Madrid is not going to take any risks this time.


First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Hazard
Suspended:

1. None 

Just recovered:
  1. James
  2. Marcelo
  3. Lucas Vazquez
Practiced:

Asensio and Hazard continue with their recovery processes. James, Marcelo and Lucas Vazquez are back with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • Nothing specific
Other Comments:
    • Bale and Benzema are not traveling.
    Squad Updates:



    Update: No Bale or Benzema in the traveling squad. Reason for the missing stars is injury to both, making them unavailable for the games.

    This is a crucial game for the Supercopa title, and it is a knockout game. Ramos is now available , so Ramos and Varane should be seen in the starting 11 and as Marcelo had a muscular injury and just returned he should make into the starting line up.  So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start. Defence has been good and expected to prevent the occasional errors those have led to the goals.
    In the goal Courtois will start, having got a few good games in the past, things look definitely positive.

    All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. And now Isco is added to that there are 5 options for three starters. So, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. Modric will come as a substitute as he has played the full la liga game. Isco will be seen as a starter on the attacking trident on the left flank instead of the mid field.

    As Hazard has been injured Isco, Bale, Vinicius and Rodrygo are the go to options. So, Isco, Jovic and Rodrygo should start in absence of Bale and Benzema. And will have  Vinicius, James and Brahim as substitutes depending on the work rate of others.

    So the final starting 11 will be:
