The rotations come to Ancelotti’s lineup. The Italian coach introduces four changes compared to the eleven that traced the Champions League tie against PSG. Two were expected: Mendy and Casemiro enter, who missed the European duel due to suspension. They are also warned today and, if they see yellow in Son Moix, they will miss the Clásico against Barcelona on Sunday.
Nacho, who replaced Mendy against PSG, remains in the eleven. On this occasion he replaces Militao, who did not travel with the white expedition to Palma de Mallorca after spending a bad night with the flu. The center-back is the only loss for the Whites for this game. On the other hand, the victim of Casemiro’s return is Modric. The Croatian, who had been a starter in eight of the last nine games, will rest. Kroos, who was not fine in the minutes he played in the Champions League after recovering from some hamstring discomfort, will once again be in the game alongside Valverde.
The other two changes are on the right wing, which the Italian coach completely reforms. Lucas Vázquez plays at right back instead of Carvajal and Rodrygo accompanies Benzema and Vinicius in attack.
The starting eleven that Carlo Ancelotti has in his line-up for the League match against Mallorca is made up of: Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius.
