The Real Madrid is more in picture that never and will travel to Villarreal with a total of seven drops. But the most worrisome for the group madridista is that four of these seven absences form part of the vertebral column of the team. Karim Benzema, Sergio Bouquets​, Fede Valverde and Casemiro will not be this Saturday in the lawn of the Ceramics and Zinedine Zidane will have to fix them without them.

The four footballers mentioned are indisputable for the French, especially the French, the sevillano and the Brazilian, that form part of the hard core of the changing room. In other words to the merengues will be missing them this weekend his maximum goleador and main offensive referent; his captain and the big leader of his defence; and the one who is the glue of the team, that is for a lot of the most important man of this Madrid.

'Zizou' Will have a lot of problems to do his alignment without these players, since in addition to them, two players that could have substituted to Benzema and Bouquets, Luka Jovic and Éder Militao, neither will be able to be in Villarreal. The Serbian has given positive recently by coronavirus and the Brazilian, that seemed to have surpassed the COVID-19, seems that it is not cured of the all still and neither will arrive to the crash.

In summary, the trainer madridista goes to have to invent and resort to several players with which explains little or absolutely at all, as for example Nacho Fernández, Mariano or Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian is, by the way, one of the new faces that will present the team, since it has recovered of his injury. He will be beside Eden Hazard and Dani Carvajal, the big news that will have the whites. The Belgian himself has surpassed the coronavirus, whereas the Madrilenian has is to 100% after his injury.

With all this, and taking into account that Hazard hardly has trained a day with the rest of his mates, Zidane could take out an eleven resembled this to try carry the three points of the Ceramics: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Mendy; Kroos, Modric, Odegaard; Rodrygo, Vinicius and Mariano. There are possibilities that Marco Asensio can go in by any one of the Brazilians or even Isco Alarcón could play by Odegaard.

An eleven of circumstances in Villarreal

Whatever happens and it play the one who play, there are not doubts that the alignment of the Madrid in Villarreal will be more than circumstances that never. Mariano is the third forward of the staff and will have to be the offensive referent of the team by the absences of Benzema and Jovic. That is the best example of what will be the whites this Saturday in a party importantísimo in which they need the victory not to move away even more of the head.
