Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against PSG at home, currently they are at the top and Real are 2nd on the leader-board of their group in champions league. The last game against PSG was a disaster and qualification is still not confirmed  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Marcelo Nacho Practiced:  Nacho is practicing with the substitutes for the recovery session.  Kroos and Isco also joined the recovery with the substitutes, where as Bale joined the starters for the recovery session indoors. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: A lot of comments about Mbappe and if Hazard would like him in the current team etc.. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for qualification to the knockouts. With Mendy playing the whole 90 minutes against Real Sociedad, it gives

Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to start " BBH Sounds good" Benzema to be the leader without Ramos and Marcelo.

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 suspension
