Real Madrid has officially announced its squad for the upcoming clash against Valencia this Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu. The team, under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, will be without three key defensive players: Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Antonio Rüdiger. However, the injury list has significantly cleared up over the past week, with no unexpected absences. After a triumphant victory in El Clásico, the Merengues aim to maintain their winning momentum in La Liga before facing Liverpool in the Champions League next Tuesday.
In addition to the aforementioned defenders, Andriy Lunin will also miss out due to a one-match suspension following his red card against FC Barcelona. This means that Thibaut Courtois will be backed up by Sergio Mestre and Fran Gonzalez in goal. The absence of Lunin adds a layer of challenge for Alonso as he prepares his squad for a crucial match against a competitive Valencia side.
Squad Details
The confirmed squad list showcases a blend of youth and experience. In goal, Courtois leads the charge, supported by Mestre and Gonzalez. The defensive line includes Asencio, Carreras, Huijsen, Militao, Trent, Fran Garcia, and Ferland Mendy. The midfield is packed with talent featuring Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Valverde, Arda Güler, and Dani Ceballos. Up front, the attacking options are dynamic with Brahim Diaz, Endrick, Gonzalo, Mbappé, Mastantuono, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr. poised to make an impact.
Tactical Outlook
Alonso’s tactical approach will be crucial as Real Madrid seeks to exploit Valencia’s weaknesses while solidifying their own defensive structure. With players like Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. in fine form this season—both contributing significantly to goals and assists—the expectation is high for an offensive display that can break down Valencia’s defense. Fans are eager to see if Madrid can replicate their recent success and build on their current league position.
The match promises to be an exciting encounter as Real Madrid looks to extend its winning streak in La Liga. With all eyes on the Bernabéu this Saturday evening, supporters are hopeful for a strong performance from their team as they head into a pivotal week ahead.
Will Real Madrid continue their impressive run? The stakes are high as they prepare for not only Valencia but also their forthcoming clash against Liverpool in Europe.
