Real Madrid lineup vs. Celta Vigo: Predicted XI for La Liga clash

Vinicius, Militao updates: How Real Madrid could line up against Celta Vigo

Real Madrid are expected to have both Eder Militao and Vinicius Junior available for Saturday's La Liga clash against Celta Vigo.

The pair suffered injuries in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Villarreal before the international break, and neither linked up with the Brazil squad for the national side's October fixtures.

Militao has been nursing a thigh problem, while Vinicius has been dealing with a neck issue, but both players are believed to have been given the green light to feature from the first whistle against Celta.

The same cannot be said for number one goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, though, as the Belgian is still dealing with a hip issue, and it remains to be seen whether he is available for selection on Saturday.

Dani Carvajal has seen his season ended due to the serious knee injury that he suffered against Villarreal, which will open the door for Lucas Vazquez to come into the side at right-back.

David Alaba and Brahim Diaz are also on the sidelines for Real Madrid, but the reigning champions did not suffer any fresh problems during the October international break.

As a result, there are unlikely to be any surprises when it comes to their XI, with Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham both expected to start, while Aurelien Tchouameni should be back in central midfield for Carlo Ancelotti's side after featuring in the middle of the defence against Villarreal.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius
