Real Madrid’s possible starting XI against Valencia in LaLiga
Jude Bellingham will miss the LaLiga match against Valencia through injury.
Jude Bellingham will not play for Real Madrid against Valencia in LaLiga on Saturday due to a shoulder injury picked up in the scoreless draw against Rayo Vallecano last weekend.
Spanish forward Brahim Díaz is therefore set to return to the side after his goal over Braga in the Champions League. Arda Güler has picked up another knock and will be out for several weeks.
Real Madrid’s defence
The versatile Nacho is likely to come into the back four as Antonio Rüdiger serves a suspension for picking up five yellow cards, and the captain will join David Alaba in the centre of defence. Andriy Lunin will start between the sticks due to Kepa’s latest injury. Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy could feature as the full-backs against Rubén Baraja’s young guns.
Camavinga as the protector
The same pair of midfielders who played on Tuesday - Luka Modric and Fede Valverde - are set to get the nod from Carlo Ancelotti once again, although Toni Kroos is also in contention for a place in the starting eleven. Eduardo Camavinga will play as the pivot.
In attack, Brazilian pair Vinícius and Rodrygo will be looking to add to their tallies for the season. Vinícius has netted four goals, Rodrygo has three and Bellingham has a remarkable 13 to date.
Real Madrid’s possible XI vs Valencia
Lunin; Carvajal, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Modric; Brahim; Rodrygo, Vinícius.
