Real Madrid announce squad for Champions League match against Brugge

Real Madrid published their squad list for Tuesday’s early game against Brugge —19:00 CEST—.

REAL MADRID SQUAD:

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Areola, Altube.

Defenders: Carvajal, Militão, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Isco.

Forwards: Hazard, Benzema, Lucas Vázquez, Jović, Vinicius Jr.

Marcelo and Isco Alarcon are back with the team after missing the last few games with injuries, while James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale won’t be with the team. Neither will be Brahim Diaz nor Rodrygo.

Real Madrid need to get the three points in this match. It should be a fairly manageable game for Los Blancos, but the loss against PSG in the opening game of the Champions League season means that Madrid must simply take care of business.

It’s a bit surprising to see that Rodrygo hasn’t made the list even with Bale and James out. The Brazilian attacker will need to stay patient because he might not get relevant minutes any time soon.
