Real Madrid are set to return to their favourite competition, the UEFA Champions League, with a match against VfB Stuttgart tomorrow on Tuesday.
The Merengues are coming into this game with a rather depleted squad, as Ancelotti has several important defenders and midfielders unavailable for this game. However, Ancelotti received a boost ahead of this match as he was able to play Bellingham and Tchouameni in the last training session before this game.
Furthermore, Los Blancos are also in a good run of form after having won the two matches against Real Betis and Real Sociedad. The Brazilian defender Militao also participated in this session, but Ancelotti is unlikely to start him for this game.
Real Madrid have announced the squad for this upcoming fixture, with the most notable absence being that of Brahim Diaz, whose abductor injury is expected to keep him out of action for the next 2-3 months.
The squad announced by Real Madrid for this game is as follows:
Goalkeepers:
- 1: Thibaut Courtois
- 2: Andriy Lunin
- 3: Fran Gonzalez
Defenders:
- 1: Dani Carvajal
- 2: Lucas Vazquez
- 3: Eder Militao
- 4: Jesus Vallejo
- 5: Fran Garcia
- 6: Antonio Rudiger
- 7: Ferland Mendy
Midfielders:
- 1: Jude Bellingham
- 2: Federico Valverde
- 3: Luka Modric
- 4: Aurelien Tchouameni
- 5: Arda Guler
Forwards:
- 1: Vinicius Junior
- 2: Kylian Mbappe
- 3: Rodrygo Goes
- 4: Endrick
