How Real Madrid could line up against Barcelona

How Real Madrid could line up against Barcelona

Real Madrid will have both Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior available for Sunday evening's La Liga contest with Barcelona at Bernabeu.

The key duo were forced off during Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City, which finished 1-1 before Carlo Ancelotti's side won on penalties.

Carvajal looked to be suffering with cramp, while Vinicius was in discomfort after a sprint with Kyle Walker, but both players are expected to start for the home side in El Clasico.

Los Blancos have no further fitness concerns, although there are two definite absentees, with both Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba on the sidelines due to long-term knee problems.

Aurelien Tchouameni was suspended against Man City but will be back in the squad here, and the France international could potentially feature in the middle of the defence.

Jude Bellingham scored twice against Barcelona in the reverse match earlier this season, and he will now face the Catalan outfit at Bernabeu for the first time in his career.

Luka Modric is an option for change in midfield, but Eduardo Camavinga should retain his spot, while Eder Militao is still being eased back in, so he could feature off the bench once again.

Lucas Vazquez and Brahim Diaz both played important roles for Real Madrid off the bench against Man City, but neither are expected to be considered for starts here.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Carvajal, Rudiger, Tchouameni, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Bellingham; Vinicius, Rodrygo
