Real Madrid boss Rafael Benitez has handed summer signing Danilo his first start for the club in today's International Champions Cup match against Inter Milan in China.

Dani Carvajal has made way for the full-back, while Casemiro has entered the fray in midfield, replacing Luka Modric, who started in the side's 4-1 win over Manchester City last Friday.

Karim Benzema has been left out of Madrid's starting lineup to make room for Jese Rodriguez, while new goalkeeper Kiko Casilla is yet to make his debut as Keylor Navas starts.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, will all begin the pre-season match in Guangzhou.

Meanwhile, Inter boss Roberto Mancini has handed starts to summer signing Jeison Murillo, on-loan defender Martin Montoya and Geoffrey Kondogbia.

Hernanes has also been given the nod, while striker Mauro Icardi will also face the Spanish giants.

Inter Milan XI: Handanovic; Montoya, Ranocchia, Murillo, Jesus; Brozovic, Kovacic, Kondogbia; Hernanes; Palacio, Icardi
