Real Madrid: Luka Modric back in the group to face Real Betis

Real Madrid, leader of Liga, has revealed the group summoned for the trip to Benito-Villamarin to face Real Betis Balompié (7th), for the 16th day of the Spanish championship. And good news for Casa Blanca: Croatian midfielder Luka Modric (38), absent from the last two Madrid outings, is back in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

The transalpine technician, who took stock of the Merengue infirmary at a press conference, will therefore be able to count on the 2018 Golden Ball for his midfield. Released at half-time against Granada (2-0 victory), Spanish right-back Dani Carvajal (31) is, as expected, absent to face the Verdiblancos.
