Team News
Athletic Club
Real Madrid
- Athletic Club have so far held on to starlet Nico Williams who will undoubtedly start in attack for the Basque club; his brother Iñaki should also start since recovering from a knee injury in the summer.
- Since joining this summer from Mallorca, Iñigo Ruíz de Galarreta is fit and ready to make his mark in Bilbao's side.
- Long-time club servant Iker Muniain was regularly left out by Ernesto Valverde last season but is expected to feature this year, being heavily involved in pre-season.
- Yuri Berchiche continues to recover from an injury he sustained when both clubs last met, but is doubtful to start against Los Blancos.
- New signing and former youth player Fran Garcia could start under Carlo Ancelotti, especially with Ferland Mendy absent due to a muscle injury. David Alaba however has played at left-back regularly before and will most likely be fielded there against Athletic Club.
- The departure of Karim Benzema has left Ancelotti a dilemma in attack, with Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo set to step in as roaming forwards.
- Jude Bellingham, signed for €103 Million from Borussia Dortmund, may play the role of an advanced number eight, dropping in behind and facilitating Brazilian flair up top.
- New striker Joselu could feature, but is likely to play a back-up role.
- Ancelotti is likely to bench Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić.
Thibaut courtois is out of this game so i guess second choice will stick to the goal
