Real Madrid announced their call-up for Saturday’s away game against Villarreal.
REAL MADRID ROSTER:
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin, Altube.
Defenders: Carvajal, Nacho, R. Varane, Marcelo, F. Mendy, Chust.
Midfielders: Kroos, Modrić, Ødegaard, Isco, Aranda.
Forward: Hazard, Asensio, Lucas V., Vini Jr., Mariano, Rodrygo.
This is an extremely thin template for Real Madrid after Luka Jovic’s positive for Covid-19.
It will not be easy for Madrid to beat Villarreal in these circumstances. Mariano is almost certain to lead the team’s offensive line and it has been a while since he was not listed as a starter. Midfield is another problematic line, as Zidane will have quality players at his disposal but none of them with the physical tools and defensive awareness to keep the team line and retrieve the ball frequently.
In addition, Madrid visit Inter Milan next Wednesday in what is expected to be another crucial game for the Whites, who need as many points as they can to advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League as winners of their group.
