Official: Real Madrid squad list to face Rayo Vallecano | La Liga MD 22 | OneFootball

Real Madrid will take on Rayo Vallecano in La Liga tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabeu, hoping to produce a strong reaction following their midweek debacle against SL Benfica.

The Merengues were held to a goalless draw by their local rivals in the return fixture and cannot afford to drop points, with Barcelona already ahead of them in the table.

Ahead of tomorrow’s contest at the Bernabeu, manager Alvaro Arbeloa has announced the squad list of players available at his disposal for selection.

Even though Antonio Rudiger, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Ferland Mendy trained with the squad today, Arbeloa has opted not to rush them back and left the trio out of the squad.

Eder Militao, meanwhile, remains unavailable through injury.

Other than that, there are no absences, with the squad made up of the usual suspects, with Arbeloa opting against calling up any young talents from Castilla either.

It will be interesting to see whether the manager changes his lineup and affords chances to players like Dani Carvajal and Dani Ceballos who have barely played since Arbeloa took over.

There may be a battle for a starting berth on the right wing, with Rodrygo Goes and Brahim Diaz pushing for a spot, especially after Franco Mastantuono’s disappointing performance against Benfica.
