How Real Madrid could line up against Barcelona

How Real Madrid could line up against Barcelona

Real Madrid have three injury concerns ahead of the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona.

Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti had to make three enforced changes in Wednesday's semi-final victory over Valencia, with Eduardo Camavinga first to be replaced at the interval due to a knock.

Lucas Vazquez then departed in the 68th minute due to an ankle problem, while Eder Militao was replaced in the 74th minute after suffering a head injury.

Camavinga's issue is minor, and the France international is expected to be available for selection in El Clasico.

Militao is also set to start despite concerns over a possible concussion, but Vazquez's ankle problem will rule him out of the final and indeed the next few weeks.

Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy could come into the back four, with Militao potentially in the middle of the defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.

Meanwhile, there is expected to be a change in midfield even if Camavinga proves his fitness, with Luka Modric set to feature from the first whistle on Sunday night.

Real Madrid will also be without Aurelien Tchouameni and David Alaba for the final of the Spanish Super Cup, as the duo did not travel to Saudi Arabia due to calf injuries.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Kroos, Valverde, Modric; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius
