Benzema, Marcelo and Theo are back.
Real Madrid have published their squad list for Saturday’s early match against Getafe —16:15 CET.
REAL MADRID’S SQUAD LIST:
Goalkeepers: Casilla, Mohamed.
Defenders: Ramos, Nacho, Achraf, Vallejo, Marcelo, Theo.
Midfielders: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Marcos Llorente, Asensio, Isco and Ceballos.
Attackers: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lucas Vázquez, Benzema.
Coach Zinedine Zidane could decide to make some rotations as Madrid will host Tottenham next Tuesday in what should be a tougher match. Still, players like Marcelo or Benzema should be fresh enough to play both games after spending the last few weeks recovering from muscle injuries, so they will likely feature in the team’s starting XI.
Away games after FIFA breaks are usually quite difficult for Madrid and Zidane will need to make sure that his players step on the pitch with the right mindset and attitude if they want to earn the three points. Los Blancos will surely be hoping that Atletico can beat Barcelona later this Saturday but they must take care of business against Getafe first.
