Real Madrid visit Getafe in what’s expected to be a very tough game for Los Blancos. Coach Zinedine Zidane won’t have Nacho, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane or Mendy at his disposal and Casemiro is also suspended, so Madrid’s defensive line will have a hard time against Getafe.
Odriozola, Militao, Marcelo and Castilla player Chust will be expected to start on defense. Fede Valverde was set to be Casemiro’s replacement in the midfield but he will miss the game due to the Covid-19 protocol, meaning that Kroos, Modric and Isco will have to take care of the defensive duties.
Getafe have been very disappointing this season and are fighting to avoid relegation. Still, Madrid will be missing many players in this game, so they will have to complete a quality performance if they want to earn the three points.
Furthermore, things won’t get any easier for them, as they will visit Cadiz on Wednesday.
