10 days before the Champions League, Eduardo Camavinga will continue in the starting lineup of Real Madrid this Sunday during the La Liga clash against Bilbao, Aurélien Tchouameni being placed in central defense.
Casually, Eduardo Camavinga managed to win his starting place at Real Madrid. The 21-year-old left-hander has become an essential player in the eyes of Carlo Ancelotti because this Sunday evening (9 p.m.) at the Bernabéu, against Athletic Bilbao, he makes his ninth start in a row! He has the complete confidence of the Merengues staff.
The maintenance of “Cama” in the starting eleven comes a little at the expense of his compatriot Aurélien Tchouameni, who will once again be used in the central hinge alongside Antonio Rüdiger for this clash of the weekend (the Basque Lions are 4th in the ranking). An important indicator 10 days before the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City, on April 9 at home.
Tchouameni in defense against Man City?
Note that Ancelotti assured that if Eder Militao was back in the group after several weeks of replays, the Brazilian, victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament in his knee last August, will not yet be fully operational for the two shocks against Pep Guardiola's Cityzens. Tchouameni or Nacho will be aligned with Rüdiger against Erling Haaland and others.
Real Madrid are deprived of their Brazilian crack Vinicius, suspended, to challenge Bilbao. Jude Bellingham is back after missing two matches with the Merengues before the international break, and the English phenomenon will be associated with Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz (or Joselu).
