Real Madrid will start Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric again on Sunday when they play Cadiz at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla.
Real Madrid hosts Cadiz at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Sunday night. Their goal will be to continue their winning run. However, Carlo Ancelotti is finding it difficult to prepare for his team’s upcoming match due to a fresh injury concern.
Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Junior are the most recent players out due to injuries sustained during the international break. The young couple has been shown the exit together with Thibaut Courtois, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Eder Militao, Arda Guler, and Aurelien Tchouameni.
However, there is good news: Dani Ceballos is healthy again and will go with the club to play Cadiz after his recent issues. Rodrygo Goes is prepared to play this weekend after bouncing back from a setback as well.
Ancelotti discussed the injuries and other issues hurting his team at his pre-game news conference. Regarding the ailments and injuries in the middle of the field, he declared, “We have Ceballos and other options, so I’m not going to use Alaba there.” A fantastic addition who hasn’t played much, he will be a big help to us. Bellingham can play inside, and he is returning as well.
“We lost a player up front due to an injury sustained by Vinicius.” But we also have Brahim, Nico Paz, and Gonzalo, who have both performed admirably in the juvenile system. When Vinicius missed a month of play, we performed admirably. Without Bellingham in the game, we defeated Valencia 5-1. I recognize the sadness an athlete feels upon suffering an injury, but it does occur.
Although Kepa has resumed his training, he is still not well enough to play this weekend. In front of him, Real Madrid will form a 4-4-2 formation, while Andriy Lunin will start in goal.
Antonio Rudiger returning to the starting lineup means that the defense may see one or two alterations. Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy will play as fullbacks, while Rudiger and David Alaba will form the middle of the defense.
With several players sidelined due to injuries, Ancelotti is limited in his options in the midfield. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will make their debut together. Modric and Federico Valverde, who play from box to box in the middle, will be positioned between Kroos at the foot of the square.
At the very end of the diamond, at number 10, Jude Bellingham will play his usual position. Brahim Diaz may start up front because Vinicius Junior isn’t playing, with Rodrygo Goes filling in in the last third. As a result, Joselu will be a reserve, with Ceballos being another option.
For Real Madrid, Lunin, Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, and Mendy will start. After Bellingham and Diaz will be Valverde, Kroos, and Modric.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Ledesma; Carcelen, Chust, J Hernandez, Pires; Sobrino, Escalante, Alcaraz, Alejo; Machis, Roger
