Possible alignment of Real Madrid today against Cádiz in the League

Real Madrid faces the last game of 2021 at the Santiago Bernabéu, against Cádiz, with obligatory variations in Carlo Ancelotti’s eleven.

Modric, despite the negative that the Croatian gave on Friday, is not in a position to play against the yellow team.

The absence of the Ukrainian goalkeeper means that Ancelotti has had to call in two Castilla goalkeepers, Luis López and Toni Fuidias, as substitutes for Courtois. They have not been summoned either, Isco, with cold symptoms (he has tested negative in the covid tests) and Mariano, who could not train the two days before the game.

The starting team will be Hazard and ten more. Ancelotti announced in the press conference prior to the match the ownership of the Belgian, who has not enjoyed such status since September 28, in the match against the Sheriff on the second day of the group stage of the Champions League.

The list has several novelties: the return of Ceballos, five months after his injury at the Olympic Games and the presence, in addition to the goalkeepers, of three other homegrown players: Miguel Gutiérrez, Blanco and Peter In the case of the latter, it is his first call-up with the first team..
