Real Madrid will be looking for their third successive win in La Liga when they face Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on matchday 33 of the Spanish top flight on Wednesday. After a last-gasp success against Athletic Bilbao, Carlo Ancelotti will hope his side can have a more comfortable outing against their crosstown opponents before Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
Los Blancos will be without Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Kylian Mbappe as they are all unfit. Though the French duo trained with the rest of their teammates in the last season before the Getafe game, Ancelotti has not called them up for the game, thus resting the players for the weekend’s showpiece fixture. That said, here is a look at the Real Madrid potential starting eleven.
Goalkeeper – Thibaut Courtois
Courtois has back-to-back clean sheets in La Liga and will keep his place in the line-up against Getafe.
Right Back – Lucas Vazquez
Vazquez could come back into the team at right back having been benched against Athletic Bilbao.
Centre Back – Raul Asencio
Asencio is expected to retain his place in the team as one of the two central defenders.
Centre Back – David Alaba
Alaba could replace Antonio Rudiger in the back four with the German likely to be rested for El Clasico.
Left Back – Fran Garcia
Fran Garcia might come in at left back, replacing Eduardo Camavinga from the weekend’s line-up.
Defensive Midfielder – Aurelien Tchouameni
Tchouameni is in excellent form and might continue to start as the team’s defensive midfielder.
Right Midfielder – Luka Modric
Modric may start as the right midfielder after a decent game against Bilbao on Sunday.
Left Midfielder – Federico Valverde
Valverde might take up a role in the midfield having featured at right back last time out.
Attacking Midfielder – Jude Bellingham
Bellingham was brilliant in his advanced role in the previous game and could start at number 10 again.
Right Forward – Rodrygo Goes
Rodrygo has just one goal in his last 20 games but will look to regain form before Saturday’s cup final.
Vinicius was exceptional against Athletic Club and hope to make the difference against Getafe too.
