How Real Madrid could line up against Alaves

Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Alaves.

Real Madrid will switch their attention back to La Liga on Saturday night as they prepare to welcome Basque side Alaves to the Spanish capital.

Los Blancos recorded an important 2-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday but have taken just one point from their last two league matches with Valencia and Villarreal.

Zinedine Zidane's side are currently fourth in Spain's top flight, six points behind leaders Real Sociedad, although they do have one game in hand over La Real.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Madrid could line up on home soil.


POSS RMA XI vs. ALA

Out: Sergio Ramos (hamstring), Federico Valverde (shin), Luka Jovic (coronavirus)
Doubtful: Karim Benzema (groin), Alvaro Odriozola (calf), Eder Militao (coronavirus)

Madrid will again be without the services of Sergio Ramos and Federico Valverde this weekend through injury, while Luka Jovic's recent coronavirus positive test will rule the striker out of contention.

Karim Benzema also remains a doubt with a groin problem, meaning that there could be another start in the final third of the field for Mariano Diaz.

There is a chance that Benzema could make his return on Saturday, although it seems more likely that the Frenchman will be saved for next week's Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Zidane is expected to shuffle his pack from the win over Inter, and there could be a return to the starting XI for Casemiro, with the Brazilian potentially joining Toni Kroos and Martin Odegaard in midfield.

Rodrygo Goes is also pushing for a spot in the final third, but Marco Asensio and Vinicius Junior are also options for change should Zidane decide to withdraw Lucas Vazquez from the XI.

Alvaro Odriozola remains a doubt for the reigning champions due to a troublesome calf problem, while Eder Militao has not featured since testing positive for coronavirus earlier this month and could miss out again.
