Zinedine Zidane is left without Luka Modric for Granada’s visit in the penultimate match of LaLiga Santander this year, but he has many options to replace him.
Real Madrid face Granada in the penultimate league game of the calendar year on Wednesday, December 23. Kick-off is at 7:45 p.m. at the Alfredo di Stéfano stadium and you can follow all the action here on AS English.
Not Modric, but Hazard, Vini and Isco back
It is a game for which Zinedine Zidane has almost all his players available. The only victim is the loss of Luka Modric.
The Croatian was substituted in the 72nd minute of the match against Eibar after suffering an injury and immediately received ice treatment on the bench.
“We hope it is a small thing, but we are not going to risk it,” Zidane said at his pre-match press conference.
An attacking player comes out then, but the Frenchman can call Vinicius, who missed the last game due to stomach problems, as well as Isco and Hazard. The Belgian returns after missing the last five games with a muscle injury and hopes to add a streak of performances, while the Spanish midfielder remains linked to a departure from Madrid.
Possible starting eleven of Real Madrid
As reported in today’s newspaper, we believe they will go with: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Lucas Vázquez, Benzema, Vinicius.
Zidane still has to take out one more player than he has summoned. The others named are Lunin, Altube, Odriozola, Nacho, Militao, Marcelo, Odegaard, Isco, Rodrygo, Asensio, Hazard, Jovic, Mariano.
In the last three games, nine players have been regulars on Zidane’s side. The coach has only made one change in his team to cover the absence of Casemiro – who has already served his sanction – against Athletic and Vinicius in Ipurua. Against Granada, the forced change is to cover their Croatian magician.
