It is a Real Madrid affected in its rearguard which travels this Saturday at the start of the evening (6:30 p.m.) for the eighth day of La Liga against the surprising leader, Girona. Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti saw David Alaba join Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois, unavailable for a longer period. Arda Güler is also excluded from the professional group.
In his group of 21 players called up for the trip to Catalonia, the Italian technician can nevertheless count on the presence of his central German Antonio Rüdiger, also affected after the victory against Las Palmas (2-0). The young Álvaro Carrillo (defender, 21 years old) and Diego Piñeiro (goalkeeper, 19 years old) also expand the Madrid list.
