Those summoned by Ancelotti and Xavi for the Bernabéu
MADRID, 15 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The squad lists for this Sunday’s Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have their novelties on the defensive side, with the presence of Antonio Rüdiger and Jules Kounde, while Carlo Ancelotti is still without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Rüdiger, who received twenty points to the face in his goal against Shakhtar Donetsk, will not miss the duel against the eternal rival with the leadership of LaLiga Santander at stake. The German will have to play yes with a mask. However, as Ancelotti announced at a press conference, Courtois is not yet ready for his inconvenience.
In this way, the Real Madrid list is made up of: Lunin, Luis López, Cañizares, Carvajal, E. Militão, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho, Odriozola, Lucas Vázquez, Rüdiger, Mendy, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Hazard, Benzema, Asensio, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Mariano.
For his part, in Barça the doubt was also behind, but finally Xavi Hernández will be able to count on a Kounde who received a medical discharge this Saturday. An important novelty for the Barça team, since they have been suffering in defense, as happened on Wednesday in the dramatic draw against Inter Milan, which leaves them with few options to advance in the Champions League.
The culé list for this Sunday’s duel at 4:15 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu is made up of: Ter Stegen, Piqué, Sergio, Dembélé, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Kessie, Sergi Roberto, De Jong, Raphinha, Kounde, Eric, Iñaki Peña, Balde, Gavi, Pablo Torre and Arnau Tenas.
