Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11


The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24. Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow, Madrid is not going to take any risks this time.


Looking at the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Mariano
  3. James
Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team.

Suspended:
  1. None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension.
Just recovered:
  1. Hazard
He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter.

Practiced:

Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. Others are practicing with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • None.
Other Comments:
  • This is a crucial game and the team had a very good outing in the last match after a hard fought win and need to improve to keep the spirits high.
Squad Updates:



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

In the goal Courtois will start and was announced as the winner of the La liga player of the month. 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 and might force an yellow card to make himself available for the el clasico and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form and will try to avoid any errors leading to the goals.

All the five super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Isco and Casemiro. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ. Last game Isco came on top of all and had a brilliant outing, at the same time Kroos had been rested. Taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Valverde, Casemiro and Kroos in the middle. Isco and Modric will be on the bench.

As Asensio has been injured and Hazard has just recovered, both would not start. After several changes and returns it will be Benzema, Vinicius and Bale to start. And Hazard, Jovic and Rodrygo should be on the bench. Hazard will be used for 15 to 20 minutes. BBH might get to play together after a long time.

So the formation would be 4 3 3, with Bale and Vinicius on the wings behind Benzema.

So the final starting 11 will be:
