Defensive drama: how Xabi is likely to line up Real Madrid against Girona | OneFootball

Real Madrid's coach, Xabi Alonso, is facing a dilemma in assembling the defense against Girona.

Real will face the Catalan club at 5 PM on Sunday (30), at Montilivi Stadium, for the 14th round of La Liga.

Huijsen is injured. Asencio is doubtful. And Éder Militão has only been participating in part of the training sessions.

As a result, left-back Carreras is likely to be improvised in defense once again - just as happened in the 4-3 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Besides Asencio, Xabi Alonso also couldn't count on Alaba and Carvajal in Saturday's (29) training session.

In this scenario, a probable Real Madrid lineup includes: Courtois; Valverde, Asencio (Éder Militão), Carreras, and Fran García; Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Arda Güler, and Bellingham; Vini Jr and Mbappé.
