Benzema, safe drop
that of Carlo Ancelotti also confronts the absence of Karim Benzema, one of his great pieces in the attack. The French attacker has problems with his right ankle after a blow with Betis and will not be there against Espanyol on Saturday. In addition, Alaba continues to recover from the injury he sustained at Anfield and the already recovered Mendy has not been called up because he still lacks rhythm.
After all this, Ancelotti has decided not to rotate against the blue and white team, as he has not played a game this week and he felt that it is not necessary to give anyone a rest. The Italian has therefore chosen the following eleven: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Vinicius and Rodrygo. Rüdiger is a substitute because he has been in discomfort during the week and preferred not to take any risks.
Espanyol, with the doubts of Javi Puado and Brian Oliván
For his part, Diego Martínez’s Espanyol faces several doubts. The most important, that of Javi Puado and Brian Olivan, that they are not 100% and that it is not entirely clear that they can get out of the game. If you don’t come first, everything points to Leandro Cabrera replacing him, who already played a lot as a left back at the start of his career. Or even French Romael Pierre-Gabriel, who would play with a different leg. By means of Puado for his part was able to use Nico Melamed. Although there is also the possibility of Martínez armed his team with a defense of five, which would see Melamed go to the bench and give ownership to the other two: Cabrera and Pierre-Gabriel.
