Bad news at the worst time. When the decisive duel in the Champions League against PSG approaches, so that he will not be able to count on the suspended Mendy and Casemiro, Ancelotti loses one of his fundamental pieces in the eleven and one of his most usual replacements. The Real Madrid coach faces the league match against Real Sociedad without Kroos or Valverde. The German finished Wednesday’s training with a sore hamstring and will work to reach Wednesday’s European match, while the Uruguayan is suffering from the flu.
Two sensitive casualties against a team, the white-blue, who has managed to score points in three of his last four visits to the Madrid fiefdom. In return, the Italian coach will be able to count on David Alaba in the eleven, who missed the visit to Vallecas due to slight discomfort in the adductor. Lunin, who fell off the list at the last minute against Rayo affected by the Russian invasion in Ukraine, and Bale, absent against Rayo due to injury, also return to the squad.
The white team will be aware of the cards. Three Real Madrid players are on notice: Militao, Mendy and Casemiro. If they are booked, they will not be able to play on Monday 14 in the visit to Mallorca. A hypothetical sanction that, on the other hand, would allow them to play the Clásico on Sunday with 20 ‘clean’ cards.
Possible eleven for Real Madrid against Real Sociedad in the League.

Possible starting line-up for Carlo Ancelotti for Real Madrid-Real Sociedad
The doubt in the eleven falls on the substitute for Toni Kroos. Ancelotti can opt for Camavinga or Isco to cover the German’s absence. For the rest, the Italian coach seems willing to align his gala team again with: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Camavinga or Isco; Asensio, Benzema and Vinicius. The list is completed: Lunin, Luis López, Nacho, Vallejo, Marcelo, Ceballos, Isco or Camavinga, Lucas Vázquez, Bale, Rodrygo, Hazard, Jovic and Mariano. The white coach has called up 24 players, so he will have to discard before the game.
