Aurélien Tchouaméni starts for Real Madrid in Clasico against Barcelona | OneFootball

Aurélien Tchouaméni starts for Real Madrid in Sunday night’s Clasico against Barcelona, which kicks off at 21:00.

According to L'Équipe, the midfielder was sanctioned by Real after a violent altercation with team-mate Federico Valverde. Even so, Alvaro Arbeloa has selected him to start alongside Eduardo Camavinga.

Valverde is unavailable. Kylian Mbappé also misses out, with Gonzalo Garcia starting up front.

Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois, Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Huijsen, F.Garcia, B. Diaz, Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Bellingham, G. Garcia, Vinicius.

For Barcelona, Hansi Flick has left Jules Koundé on the bench, as well as Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. Eric Garcia starts at right-back, a repeat of the choice made against Osasuna in the previous Liga round when Koundé was suspended.

Barcelona starting XI: Garcia, E. Garcia, Cubarsi, G.Martin, Cancelo, Gavi, Pedri, Rashford, Olmo, F.Lopez, F. Torres.
