After their opening day with Al-Hilal, it seemed that the group of Real Madrid at the Club World Cup could become much more complicated. Nevertheless, the side of Xabi Alonso goes in their last collision with RB Salzburg at 03:00 CEST knowing that a victory or a score trekking guarantees the top spot in the group.
Furthermore, Los Blancos will probably be confronted with one of Juventus or Manchester City in the round of 16, but Alonso said before the game that he did not think about the knockouts. He also explained that Rodrygo Goes was omitted against Pachuca because of a technical decision, and it seems that this will be the case again.
The most important team news for Real Madrid for the game is that Kylian Mbappe was not recovered from his gastro -tiritis to play and has been omitted from the team. He participates in a long-term injury list for Alonso, who is still improvising with a half-fit team, given the absence of Eder Militao, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, Endrick Felipe and Eduardo Camavinga.
According to Diario AS, Gonzalo Garcia Torres stands in line to start a third game in a row through the middle. The big factor to consider is the absence of Raul Asencio by suspension, and Antonio Rudiger is supported to return to the starting line-up after six weeks. That is the only expected change on the side that started against Pachuca and won 3-1.
