This Sunday (16:15, Movistar LaLiga) the whites host Valencia at the Alfredo Di Stéfano in a match for which the French coach can rebuild his right wing with the returns of Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez. He also has Toni Kroos in midfield, who missed Tuesday's game against Getafe through suspension.

The Valdebebas infirmary received a new tenant this week: Marcelo. The Brazilian full-back was injured against the azulones in the soleus of his left leg and will be out for two to three weeks. In the rear they will not be able to be Ramos, operated last Saturday of the left meniscus; nor Militao and Odriozola, with discomfort in the adductor and hamstrings respectively. Valverde is still limping from his adductor injury and Rodrygo and Hazard still have a few weeks left to return.
Without exhausting the quota of 23 players who can call, Zidane has summoned Altube and three Castilla players: central Víctor Chust, left-back Miguel Gutiérrez and midfielder Sergio Arribas, who played 35 minutes against Getafe. In total, the Real Madrid coach has summoned 19 players (15 of them with a first-team record) to face Javi Gracia's team.
