Real Madrid confirmed starting XI against Celta in LaLiga EA Sports

Carlo Ancelotti could rotate for Real Madrid’s game against Celta Vigo in LaLiga EA Sports.

Carlo Ancelotti could rotate for Real Madrid’s game against Celta Vigo in LaLiga EA Sports.
JESUS ALVAREZ ORIHUELADIARIO AS

Luka Modric is set to start when Real Madrid take on Celta Vigo at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in match day 28 of LaLiga EA Sports. The game against the Galicians is on Sunday 10 March at 1.30 p.m. ET/ 10.30 a.m. PT.

The Croatian is a starter at the Bernabéu, something that has not happened since January 3, during the visit of Mallorca (1-0). That afternoon, 67 days ago, he gave Rüdiger the assist for the only goal of the game.

But he has not started a home game since then; he did start away, against both Getafe and Rayo Vallecano. This Sunday aims to be his afternoon, giving Kroos a rest, although the option of resting Valverde is not ruled out either and is something Ancelotti is still weighing up.

It will be a team with some new features: although the possibility of Lucas Vázquez playing on the right side is not ruled out, the wing where we could see new faces is on the left side, with Fran García looking like an option to give Mendy a rest.

GK: Lunin

DEF: Carvajal / Lucas Vázquez - Rüdiger - Nacho - Mendy / Fran García

MID: Tchouaméni - Valverde - Modric - Brahim

ATT: Rodrygo - Vinicius.

In the engine room, the debate surrounds the pivot: Camavinga or Tchouaméni. The latter looks more likely ahead of Ancelotti making his final decision, but a surprise from the Italian cannot be ruled out either.

As for the attacking midfielder behind the front two, there is no debate, Brahim will play. Without Bellingham, who will serve a two game ban due to his red card in Mestalla, Brahim will be in charge of running the show behind the Brazilians, who will be at the spearhead of the Madrid attack as they look to secure their place at the top of the LaLiga standings.
