Real Madrid’s predicted XI to face Atlético | OneFootball

An insight into the personnel plans of Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso for the upcoming Madrid derby has on Friday been forthcoming online.

The info comes courtesy of Marca, and points towards Los Blancos preparing to make three changes at the Metropolitano.

Real Madrid are of course primed to return to action on Saturday, when they make the short trip across Spain’s capital for a La Liga meeting with Diego Simeone’s Atlético.

The table-toppers head into proceedings brimming with confidence, fresh off making it seven wins from seven to open the campaign at the expense of Levante in midweek.

In turn, it should come as little surprise to hear of just a few alterations being prepared by Xabi Alonso for the clash.

As per a report from Marca, the expectation is that the trio of Raúl Asencio, Fran García and Dani Ceballos will drop to the bench tomorrow evening, replaced by Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, and Aurélien Tchouaméni.

As much would make for an XI as follows:

Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras; Tchouaméni, Valverde, Güler; Mastantuono, Vinicius and Mbappé.
