3 changes: Real Madrid’s expected XI to face Rayo Vallecano

A fresh insight into the personnel plans of Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti for the club’s next outing has on Saturday afternoon been provided.

Real, of course, are primed to return to action later night.

Fresh off a morale-boosting victory over Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday, Los Blancos will turn their attentions back towards matters on the domestic front, in a La Liga meeting with Rayo Vallecano.

And, if the latest word doing the rounds in the media is anything to go by, then Carlo Ancelotti is ready to shake things up.

This comes amid the understanding that the coaching staff at Valdebebas are planning a trio of changes to the XI which got the better of Atalanta.

The alterations in question will come in midfield, and attack.

As per a report from Real insider Miguel Ángel Díaz of COPE, dropping out of the Spanish champions’ line-up this evening will be Dani Ceballos, Brahim Díaz and the injured Kylian Mbappé.

Stepping in, meanwhile, will be Luka Modrić, Arda Güler, and Rodrygo.

Real Madrid’s predicted XI to face Rayo Vallecano:

Courtois; Lucas Vázquez, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Antonio Rüdiger, Fran García; Federico Valverde, Luka Modrić, Jude Bellingham; Arda Güler, Rodrygo, Vinícius Jr.
