Brahim, Arda Güler & Mbappé: How Real Madrid could line out against Liverpool | OneFootball

An insight into one personnel selection being taken into consideration by the coaching staff at Real Madrid for their upcoming meeting with Liverpool has on Monday been provided.

Los Blancos are of course primed to make the daunting trip to Anfield on Wednesday night.

After marking their post-international break return to action with a comfortable downing of Leganés over the weekend, Real will turn their attentions towards matters on the continent, in a Champions League showdown with the aforementioned Liverpool.

In the buildup to the clash, much of the chatter in Spain’s capital has centered on the injury problems in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

This comes after an absentee list containing the likes of Éder Militão, Dani Carvajal, Rodrygo and Aurélien Tchouaméni was today added to by Vinícius Jr.

Brazilian international Vinícius is expected to spend the coming three weeks on the sidelines, owing to a thigh injury.

So, how do Carlo Ancelotti and his staff intend to make up for the absence of the club’s star attacker?

As alluded to above, an insght into as much has on Monday evening been provided.

The info comes courtesy of Relevo, and confirms that the plan as things stand centers on Kylian Mbappé moving out wide, to the left.

The Frenchman will likely be joined in a new-look attack by Brahim Díaz, with the Moroccan primed to feature in something of a free role.

Finally, in an effort to provide support to this pair, Arda Güler is being lined up for a 2nd successive start, on this occasion in an attacking midfield berth.

Federico Valverde, meanwhile, is expected to return to the middle of the park, with Lucas Vázquez slotting in at right-back, and Ferland Mendy replacing Fran García on the left.

Real Madrid’s possible XI to face Liverpool:

Courtois; Vázquez, Asencio, Rüdiger, Mendy; Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham, Güler; Brahim, Mbappé
