Sun Nov 24 19:54:29 UTC 2024: ## Real Madrid Set to Field Reshuffled Lineup Against Leganés

**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid is set to field a significantly altered lineup for their La Liga clash against Leganés on Sunday, due to a spate of injuries within the squad. The match will see the potential full debut of 21-year-old Ral Asensio, who made his first appearance for Los Blancos against Osasuna from the bench before the November international break.

Several key players are sidelined. The absence of Militão (season-ending knee injury), Lucas Vázquez (recent injury), and Rodrygo (injury sustained in the 4-0 win over Osasuna) will force manager Carlo Ancelotti to make significant changes. Further compounding the injury crisis is the ongoing absence of Dani Carvajal (ACL injury) and David Alaba (expected back in January). Aurelien Tchouameni is also out until early December with an ankle problem.

To compensate, Federico Valverde is expected to fill the right-back position. The midfield will likely feature Luka Modrić alongside Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga. Upfront, the dynamic duo of Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé are expected to start, supported by Brahim Díaz.

A significant boost for Real Madrid is the return of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to training after recovering from injury. He’s set to replace Andriy Lunin, who recently suffered a muscle problem.

Real Madrid’s potential starting XI is: Courtois; Valverde, Asensio, Rüdiger, Mendy; Modrić, Camavinga, Bellingham; Díaz, Mbappé, Vinicius.
