Real Madrid lineup vs. Real Oviedo: Predicted Los Blancos XI for La Liga affair

Will Rodrygo start? How Real Madrid could line up against Real Oviedo

Real Madrid will welcome Antonio Rudiger back into their squad for Sunday's La Liga clash with Real Oviedo.

Rudiger missed the season opener against Osasuna last time out through suspension, but the Germany international has now served his ban, and he will be available for the clash with Real Oviedo.

That said, Eder Militao performed impressively alongside Dean Huijsen in the middle of the defence last time out, and the pair could continue, with Rudiger therefore potentially being named on the bench.

Jude Bellingham, Endrick, Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga are again set to miss out due to injury.

Real Madrid have no fresh injury problems, but head coach Xabi Alonso has a big decision to make in the final third of the field, with Rodrygo's potential selection a major talking point.

Rodrygo continues to be linked with a move away from Bernabeu, with Manchester City keen on the Brazilian, and it remains to be seen whether he stays with the club beyond the end of the transfer window.

The attacker was an unused substitute against Osasuna, and he is set to start on the bench here.

Franco Mastantuono will also be hoping to make his second appearance for the club following his debut against Osasuna.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni, Guler; Brahim, Mbappe, Vinicius
