As a result, left-back Carreras is likely to be improvised in defense once again - just as happened in the 4-3 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League.
Besides Asencio, Xabi Alonso also couldn't count on Alaba and Carvajal in Saturday's (29) training session.
In this scenario, a probable Real Madrid lineup includes: Courtois; Valverde, Asencio (Éder Militão), Carreras, and Fran García; Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Arda Güler, and Bellingham; Vini Jr and Mbappé.
