Real Madrid Announces Squad for La Liga Clash with Athletic Club
Real Madrid is set to face Athletic Club in La Liga at San Mames this Wednesday. The team aims to secure a much-needed victory after a series of disappointing results. Currently, they remain winless in their last three matches, having drawn all three, which has allowed Barcelona to surpass them in the league standings.
Squad Announcement for the Upcoming Match
Head coach Xabi Alonso has revealed the roster for the clash against Athletic Club, managed by Ernesto Valverde. Notable inclusions and exclusions from the squad are as follows:
- Raul Asencio: Returns to the squad after missing the last match against Girona due to gastroenteritis.
- Ferland Mendy: Remains sidelined with a recent injury, unlikely to return until the new year.
- Dean Huijsen: Has not recovered from previous discomfort and will miss the match.
- David Alaba and Dani Carvajal: Both players are unavailable for selection.
Midfield Dynamics and Young Talent
Coach Alonso faces challenges in structuring the midfield. He needs to consider how to integrate both Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham while maintaining balance within the team. Additionally, the younger players, including Gonzalo Garcia, Franco Mastantuono, and Endrick, could be called upon for opportunities off the bench as the attacking line seeks improvement.
With the pressure mounting, Real Madrid aims to reclaim their form and regain their position in La Liga standings. Fans eagerly await the performance of both seasoned and emerging players in this crucial matchup.
