How Real Madrid could line up against Osasuna

sportsmole.co.uk, 30 September 2022, 10:18

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is in line to make his comeback when Los Blancos host Osasuna at the Bernabeu in Sunday's La Liga contest.

The France international has not played since sustaining a knee injury against Celtic on September 6, but he has now completed a couple of training sessions with the team.

While he is unlikely to complete the full 90, Benzema should be fit enough to feature from the first whistle, meaning that Rodrygo could be sacrificed despite his goal in the Madrid derby win over Atletico Madrid.

Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior should complete the frontline, but Carlo Ancelotti will need to assess the fitness of his South American crop after their international exploits.

Luka Modric is sure to miss out after returning from the Croatia camp with a hip injury, and Dani Ceballos is reportedly in line to get the nod over Eduardo Camavinga.

With Ancelotti keen to tie Ceballos down to a new deal, the ex-Arsenal loanee can expect to join arms with Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni from the first whistle in the capital.

Further back, Lucas Vazquez is still recovering from a thigh injury, so Dani Carvajal should join Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois in the rearguard.

Carvajal and Militao are understood to be two players who missed Thursday's training session, so Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez will both be on standby.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Ceballos, Tchouameni, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr
