Official: Real Madrid name new-look XI to face Man City | OneFootball

The XI of players set to be depended on by La Liga giants Real Madrid to get the better of Manchester City has been unveiled online.

Real, of course, are primed to return to action in short order.

Turning attentions back towards matters on the continent, Los Blancos have made the trip to England, for a Champions League playoff first-leg showdown with the aforementioned Manchester City.

The Spanish champions’ squad has been ravaged by injuries in the buildup to the clash, with the likes of Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba unavailable for selection.

Carlo Ancelotti, as a result, has been forced to change up his line-up once more.

As confirmed across Real’s social media platforms on Tuesday evening, Federico Valverde will take his place at right-back at The Etihad.

Elsewhere in the Spanish champions’ XI, Eduardo Camavinga steps back into midfield, with Ferland Mendy replacing Fran García at left-back, too.
