The XI of players called upon by Xabi Alonso for Real Madrid’s upcoming clash with Athletic Club has been officially unveiled online.
And it features a pair of alterations to the side which stuttered to a share of the spoils at Girona over the weekend.
The first comes at left-back, where Fran García as expected drops out, to make room for the returning Álvaro Carreras.
And the other comes in the middle of the park. Arda Güler is forced to make do with a rare spot on the bench in Bilbao, allowing Eduardo Camavinga to step back into a starting role.
This makes for a line-up as follows for the visitors to San Mamés on Wednesday evening:
Real Madrid of course head into tonight’s action nothing short of desperate for a return to winning ways.
After watching arch rivals Barcelona put Atlético Madrid to the sword on Tuesday, Xabi Alonso’s troops have fallen a full four points off the pace atop the La Liga table.
