Official: Real Madrid starting lineup against Girona | La Liga MD 14

Real Madrid will be eager to get back to winning ways in La Liga and reclaiming the top position in the standings when they face Girona in a little over an hour.

Having drawn their previous two league games, it is imperative that Xabi Alonso & co. return with all three points from Estadi Montilivi, and ahead of kickoff, the Real Madrid boss has now announced the starting XI that will take the field.

There are some changes made to the team that featured against Olympiacos in midweek, starting from goal, where Thibaut Courtois is back after recovering from gastroenteritis.

Meanwhile, both Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger start in defence, having finally made their comeback after injury problems.

Trent Alexander-Arnold continues at right-back, while Fran Garcia gets the nod on the left side, meaning both Alvaro Carreras and Ferland Mendy are rested.

Up ahead, Jude Bellingham returns in midfield after featuring as a substitute vs Olympiacos. He partners Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, who is one yellow card away from suspension.

Arda Guler, Kylian Mbappe, and Vinicius Jr. form the attacking trident for Real Madrid.
