Real Madrid will move to within one win of Champions League qualification with victory this weekend but they will be missing several key players.
Real Madrid: Team News
Real Madrid welcome Almeria to the Santiago Bernabeu this weekend, hoping for a victory that would keep their slim title hopes alive.
There are several injury problems for Carlo Ancelotti’s side though, with Karim Benzema, Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba all missing once again. All three missed the defeat to Girona on Tuesday and would’ve contributed to the disappointing result.
Elsewhere, Eden Hazard and Ferland Mendy are both still missing and are unlikely to play any part of the run in until the middle of May.
Real Madrid: Predicted Lineup
Real Madrid Predicted XI: Andriy Lunin, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, Nacho Fernandez, Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Marco Asensio, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo
