Real Madrid Unveil Roster and Numbers, #11 Available

It's not usual to see players changing their number from the preseason games, but Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has decided to pick up #16 and leave #26. Denis Cheryshev and Antonio Adán have no number at this point of time as both of them are likely to be leaving the club soon -Cheryshev likely on loan-.

This is the list:

1. Iker Casillas
2. Raphäel Varane
3. Pepe
4. Sergio Ramos
5. Fàbio Coentrao
6. Sami Khedira
7. Cristiano Ronaldo
8. Kaka'
9. Karim Benzema
10. Mesut Özil
11. ****** **** (¿?)
12. Marcelo
13. Jesús Fernández
14. Xabi Alonso
15. Daniel Carvajal
16. Casemiro
17. Álvaro Arbeloa
18. Nacho Fernández
19. Luka Modric
20. Jesé Rodríguez
21. Álvaro Morata
22. Ángel Di María
23. Isco Alarcón
24. Asier Illarramendi
25. Diego López

You can check out Pedro's deep analysis of Real Madrid's squad right here. One could argue that Real Madrid decided to save that #11 for Bale. Ricardo Carvalho was the last player sporting that number during the 2012-2013 campaign.

The team now has 24 players without Denis Cheryshev and Adán. If they leave the club and Bale finally signs with los blancos, Real Madrid would have a complete 25-men roster.
