UCL Matchday: 24 October 2023

The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to discuss all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name!

Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack.

Training

Per rumors, Camavinga left training earlier with club doctors. He was considered a doubt by these earlier reports, but the latest report is that he is fine and is able to play.

Kroos also started the training session with a bandage on his knee, but there was no bandage in the leaked training photos.

Rotations?

Carlo was asked if we are going to see rotations today and he answered:

No, but that doesn’t mean I’ll use the same team that played vs Sevilla. I have to evaluate the conditions of some players, especially those that returned from injury, like Alaba and Mendy. Some players took knocks against Sevilla. Today, we’ll training with all who traveled and I’ll decide the starting XI.

Per AS, Joselu, Nacho, Modric and Fran start today.

Many rotations, if this line-up confirms.
