Not only Benzema is back, Luana will start against Osasuna. Ancelotti confirmed in the press conference before the match against the red team on Sunday (DAZN, 9:00 pm): “Benzema is in very good condition, the match will start tomorrow, and his physical condition is very good.” But this does not prevent it from being the biggest change in a list in which the absence of Luka Modric and Lucas Vázquez also stands out. The striker missed the last three matches (Mallorca, Leipzig and Atleti), as well as France’s matches against Austria and Denmark, but he returned for this marathon match before the World Cup
AS learned that Modric is affected by the fracture, with an overload in the thigh, and will be out of action for a few days, and Carlito confirmed it to the media, that he will return to training next week and rely on him in the match against Getafe on 8, because it will be very fair for Shakhtar on Wednesday. While the Galician, although he completed part of the morning session with his teammates, has not 100% recovered from his right thigh issues either and will follow similar recovery guidelines
Maneuvers are to be expected, as has been the usual trend this season (Ancelotti has yet to repeat 11 players), and the big question is which footballer will take Luka Modric’s place in the engine room, with Camavinga and Ceballos as great candidates. So it remains to be seen if Asensio gradually regains importance in the charts, after revitalizing himself with the national team. Pepe and Lucas Canizares complete those chosen by the Italian coach for training on a sunny morning in Madrid, but only the goalkeeper is part of the list that read
Real Madrid squad against Osasuna
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin, Canizares
