Luis Enrique has so far refused to have a fixed 'eleven' to make tests and reward individual performance. However, the losses of Ansu Fati and Jesús Navas are a new setback in two of the positions that the coach had more defined. The Asturian will have to find alternatives for the right back and the winger, a task that adds to that of finding a solution for the lack of goal.
Without Rodrigo Moreno, a regular, Lucho will most likely raise Adama to the starting position. The Wolves forward could be the attacking complement to Ferran Torres and Oyarzabal, who have the most numbers. Another option would be to place a more ‘traditional’ forward such as Gerard or Morata, who arrives at a good time, moving the Real player to the far left. The return of Asensio (enters through Ansu) also opens the range of solutions.
Training in Las Rozas
On the right side, Sergi Roberto is emerging as a starter on his return to La Roja. Carvajal is still out, and Bellerín's alternative, called by the absence of Navas, has less weight. In the center of the field, the loss of Thiago leaves a gap to test new profiles such as those of Koke or Llorente.
