Real Madrid Vs Galatasaray: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Galatasaray at home, currently they are below Real on the leader-board in the Champions league and they are last and Madrid are 2nd. But the situation for Madrid is not very assuring and they need to win this at any cost.

Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.

First I would like to see the 

Injury list:

1. Asensio
2. Nacho
3. James
4. Bale

Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:

1. Lucas Vazquez

Practiced:

All except the injured lot.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:

• To be updated later

Other Comments:

• No other injury concerns, but with the rest to Marcelo and Valverde, they will probably start.

Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for qualification to the next stage, with the defensive lapses of the past, there will be no experiments. No non-sense four, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will be certain to start, more so with the great work over the past games.

In the goal Courtois will start, with clean sheets in the last 3 games, things look positive.

As Modric has played full 90 minutes this Saturday having just come from injury, I would prefer him to sit out, so it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. Isco will be seen as a substitute for Kroos and Modric for Valverde depending on the score line.

As Bale and James are injured and did not practice and Rodrygo played around 80 minutes, Hazard, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. And will have Vinicius and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate.

So the final starting 11 will be:

Update: No Vinicius

The upcoming match is against Galatasaray and away from home, currently they are above Real on the leader-board in the Champions league and Madrid are at the bottom. They have the same results and same points but better goal difference as of now.

They have had  a bad start but have won the last league match to boost their confidence.

Coach Comments:

• Zidane : Zidane: "Modric, Bale and Lucas are not available."
• "We've got a chance tomorrow to prove ourselves and that's what we are going to try and do."

Squad Updates:

This is a do or die game, with the defensive lapses of the past, there will be no experiments. No non-sense four, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will be certain to start.

In the goal Courtois is not great and Areola is playing really well. So, he should start but ZZ will start with Courtois.

As there is no Modric in the midfield, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. Isco and James are now available but have not been great in the last match, they have been slow and lacked creativity hence will start from the bench.

As Bale and Vazquez are injured, Hazard, Benzema and Vinicius should start. And will have Rodrygo or Brahim and Jovic as substitutes for Vinicius and Benzema, on a as need be basis.

So the final starting 11 will be:
