How Real Madrid could line up against Getafe

How Real Madrid could line up against Getafe

Real Madrid will have Thibaut Courtois available for Sunday's La Liga match with Getafe despite initially being ruled out of the contest through coronavirus.

Courtois, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Junior and Luka Jovic have all recently returned positive tests, but the former, alongside Valverde and Camavinga, has now tested negative, so he could feature between the sticks this weekend.

Los Blancos will also have the likes of Marcelo, Luka Modric, Isco, Marco Asensio, Rodrygo and David Alaba available following positive COVID-19 tests earlier this month.

Dani Ceballos is now back from an ankle injury, meaning that Dani Carvajal is the team's only injury absence with a calf problem, so Lucas Vazquez could feature at right-back for Los Blancos.

Asensio and Rodrygo could join Karim Benzema in the final third of the field, although Eden Hazard is also pushing to earn one of the starting roles in attack.

There are not expected to be any surprises in midfield, with Casemiro back from a suspension, while Modric and Toni Kroos should again be in the XI for the league leaders.

Like Courtois, Valverde has also been cleared to feature despite initially testing positive for COVID-19.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Vazquez, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Asensio, Benzema, Rodrygo
