Possible Real Madrid XI for LaLiga EA Sports clash against Getafe
Carlo Ancelotti has left six players out for the match against Getafe and Rodrygo's return means good news for the Italian coach.
Injuries continue to plague Real Madrid this season and this remains a headache for head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who must select his starting XI for Sunday's match against Getafe with six key players out of action: Tchouameni, Vinicius, Camavinga, Alaba, Militao and Carvajal.
It's not all doom and gloom for the Italian, however, as Rodrygo has been declared fit and will feature for 'Los Blancos' as they look to close the gap at the top of the table after Barcelona's slip at home to Las Palmas. Saturday.
Ancelotti only has 16 first-team players available (the coach has called up five academy players), but will start with Courtois in goal. Raúl Asencio remains Rüdiger's partner in the heart of the defense, while Lucas Vázquez is a high candidate for the right-back position, while Fran García will occupy the left-back position.
The return of Lucas Vázquez brings Valverde back into the center of the pitch and with Tchouameni and Camavinga out, the Uruguayan will be on par with Modric and Bellingham. Up front, Ancelotti Brahim will start on the right, Mbappé on the left and there is a strong possibility that Rodrygo will immediately appear in the starting line-up and look to add to his three-goal haul for the 2024/25 LaLiga season.
Ancelotti's possible starting XI for Real Madrid-Getafe
The possible starting XI for Ancelotti could see a starting XI on Sunday: Courtois; Lucas Vázquez, Asencio, Rüdiger, Fran García; Modric, Valverde, Bellingham; Brahim, Rodrygo and Mbappe.
In addition to Raúl Asencio, the Real Madrid coach has called up four other players from the youth team to complete the squad. Goalkeeper Fran González, right back Lorenzo, central defender Aguado and central midfielder Chema Andrés will be on the bench alongside Lunin, Vallejo, Mendy, Ceballos, Arda Güler and Endrick.
