Beaten by Aurélien Tchouaméni during the Spanish Super Cup, Eduardo Camavinga should return to the starting lineup in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Atlético on Thursday evening (9:30 p.m.).
After the coronation in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, thanks to great victories against Atlético (5-3, ap) and Barça (4-1), Real Madrid is playing a new derby in the capital against the Colchoneros this Friday evening (9:30 p.m., on the L’Equipe website) in the round of 16 of the Coupe du Roi.
Carlo Ancelotti will make two changes by launching Eduardo Camavinga and Luka Modric in place of Aurélien Tchouaméni and Toni Kroos in midfield, as indicated Marca on the eve of the meeting. “Cama” was content to come into play during the two meetings in Riyadh (once in place of Ferland Mendy at left back). He has a chance to shine again with the Merengues.
The attacking trio composed of the English phenomenon Jude Bellingham and the two Brazilian prodigies Rodrygo and Vinicius will be returned to the Civitas Metropolitano pitch against Antoine Griezmann’s Atlético.
The probable composition: Lunin – Carvajal, Rüdiger, Nacho, Mendy – Valverde, Camavinga, Modric – Bellingham – Rodrygo, Vinicius.
