Rodrygo has returned to the matchday squad ahead of the game between Real Madrid and Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon.
Real Madrid will be desperate to return to winning ways and close the gap to Barcelona atop La Liga when they welcome Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon. And Carlo Ancelotti has greeted a positive update on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture.
Rodrygo has recovered from his injury, with Ancelotti naming him in the matchday squad. Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni is closing in on returning, but Sunday’s game has come too soon for him. However, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Vinicius Junior remain on the sidelines.
Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, and Kylian Mbappe were dealing with minor knocks ahead of this weekend’s La Liga game against Getafe. However, the trio is fit and available. Meanwhile, during his pre-match press conference, Ancelotti did not provide an team news update but spoke about Mbappe’s form.
The Real Madrid manager said, “His issues are the same as all of us. We have to try and find our best form: his, mine, and every player. The problem isn’t with a single player, it’s a case of a team that has been unable to find consistency or show its best form. Our idea is to improve, we’ll do everything we can to do so.”
“Mbappé has the same idea as everyone else. It’s not an individual issue for a player who has come in, he’s adapting, he’s scored goals and has been involved in our attacking play with assists too. He can do better, just as we all can. He understands where he can improve and he’ll try to do so, like we all will.”
Mbappe will retain his spot in the final third, combining with Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler in the Real Madrid attack. As for the midfield unit, Dani Ceballos should return to starting lineup, with Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham accompanying him in the middle of the park.
Valverde will move into the midfield trifecta as Lucas Vazquez is fit enough to start as the right-back. The veteran Spaniard will join Antonio Rudiger, Raul Asencio, and Fran Garcia in the backline. Finally, Thibaut Courtois will retain his spot between the sticks.
Predicted Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Vazquez, Rudiger, Asencio, Fran Garcia; Ceballos, Valverde, Bellingham; Guler, Mbappe, Diaz
