Mastantuono and Güler expected to start.
First Champions League game of the Arbeloa-era and the Spanish coach is expected to start both Arda Güler and Franco Mastantuono, given that Rodrygo hasn’t recovered from the muscle injury he suffered during the Spanish Supercup Final against Barcelona.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Huijsen, Fran García; Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Güler; Mastantuono, Mbappé and Vinicius.
Monaco predicted XI: Khon; Vanderson, Dier, Kehrer, Caio; Zakaria, Teze, Akliouche, Ansu Fati; Golovin and Balogun.
Güler and Mastantuono performed at a high level off the bench against Levante, so Arbeloa will likely reward that performance with the chance to start in a Champions League game.
