Real Madrid Vs Elche, La Liga 2014-15: CONFIRMED lineups

Real Madrid Starting XI: Keylor, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Illarramendi, Kroos, Isco, James, Bale, Ronaldo

Elche Starting XI: Herrera, Lomban, Cisma, Mosquera, Adrian, Coro, Rodrigues, Victor, Pelegrin, Edu, Jonathas

Just as we expected and it was announced, Ancelotti makes some rotations to keep his whole roster active now that Real Madrid play mid-week matches as well. It should be noted that some key players could probably use some rest considering that Real Madrid will visit Villarreal this next Saturday and what will surely be a tough away game for Ancelotti and his squad.
