The XI of players called upon by Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso for the club’s upcoming showdown with Juventus has been unveiled online.
And it features several noteworthy alterations, chiefly in the final third.
Real Madrid are of course primed to return to action in short order.
Fresh off kicking the club’s campaign back into gear with a hard-fought La Liga victory over Getafe at the weekend, Los Blancos have turned focus towards matters on the continent.
This comes ahead of a Champions League clash with Italian heavyweights Juventus.
And as alluded to above, in efforts to make it two wins from two post-international break, and four from four all told, the XI selected by Xabi Alonso for the evening has been officially revealed.
Stepping back into starting roles are the likes of Raúl Asencio, Arda Güler, Brahim Díaz and Vinícius Jr.
Dropping out, meanwhile, are all of David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo and Franco Mastantuono, for a line-up showcased in full below:
