Real Madrid travel to the Canary Islands to take on UD Las Palmas, who have had an impressive run this season. After a controversial victory against Almería at the Bernabeu, Los Blancos would look to carry on the winning momentum.
Currently, Girona are going toe to toe with the Merengues and hold a 1-point lead over the European giants. For this fixture, many crucial players are expected to start the game from the bench.
Jude Bellingham is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. This suspension is also a blessing in disguise for him as the Englishman deserved some rest. Arda Güler may also get minutes today in the 2nd half as Brahim Díaz is expected to replace Bellingham in the lineup.
The defence is the same however, Rüdiger may be rested which means that Tchouaméni would start in defence alongside Nacho. The full squad announced by Real Madrid for the game is as follows:
Goalkeepers
- Andriy Lunin
- Kepa Arrizabalaga
- Lucas Cañizares
Defenders
- Dani Carvajal
