Between Chelsea and Chelsea, almost breathless, Real Madrid faces a new test on the way to the League title. This Saturday Getafe appears at the Bernabéuone of the three teams that have been able to beat the leader this season in the regular tournament.

The match preview is marked by doubts, which made Ancelotti postpone the preparation of the call to the same day of the match. The Madrid coach has a couple of unknowns in defense. Militao retired injured at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday after suffering a bruised hip and a sprained knee.
The other presence in question is that of Mendy, who trained yesterday in the gym. Ancelotti claimed that the winger still hadn’t fully recovered after the game in London. If Militao’s withdrawal is confirmed (who will rest on Tuesday in the Champions League second leg due to being suspended), Nacho can take his place in the back line and leave captain Marcelo as the only alternative to occupy the left flank of the rear.
Otherwise, Ancelotti can rest Modric and give Valverde continuity in midfield. The far right, where the pulse between Asensio and Rodrygo is maintained, is the other great unknown in the starting team.

Possible eleven of Real Madrid against Getafe
With these conditions, the possible eleven that Carlo Ancelotti can start against Getafe is made up of: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao or Nacho, Alaba, Marcelo; Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Asensio or Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius. In the absence of knowing the call, Ancelotti only has the safe casualties of Hazard and Jovic, so on the bench they can be: Lunin, Nacho or Militao, Vallejo, Camavinga, Modric, Ceballos, Isco, Lucas Vázquez, Rodrygo or Asensio, Bale and Mariano.
Militao, Mendy, Casemiro and Modric are warned and they will miss the game on Sunday the 17th against Sevilla if Soto Grado reprimands them.
