Real Madrid host Alavés this Tuesday for the 7th day of La Liga (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the White House.

By scoring his 6th goal with Real Madrid, from a penalty, this Sunday, Kylian Mbappé confirmed his rise in statistical terms. The captain of the French team continues to find his feet on the other side of the Pyrenees. In this process, the sequence of matches is important, both to perfect the automatisms and his physical condition.

But Real’s schedule will continue to fill up in the coming weeks, and each league match is an opportunity for Carlo Ancelotti to make a logical rotation. This could be the case when they host Alavés on Tuesday evening (9pm).

Mbappé, Ancelotti confuse the issue

Will Ancelotti have the courage to do without Mbappé?

“We’ll see tomorrow. There will be rotations but I’m not going to give my starting eleven, as always.”the Italian coach soberly commented in a pre-match press conference. If Mbappé were to stay on the bench, the young Endrick would be lined up at the top, although Ancelotti is blurring the lines. “He does things very well, wherever he plays. At the top, on the wing… Even if he’s not a winger, he can come inside. He can also play in that position.”

In any case, seeing Kylian Mbappé remain on the bench would be a strong signal in Carlo Ancelotti’s management. Given the Frenchman’s influence, every act is dissected in the Spanish press. But the Real coach did not hesitate to do without Vinicius at the start of a previous match. Proof, if proof were needed, that the seasoned Italian has a firm grip on his star-studded locker room.

The expected line-up for Real Madrid : Courtois, Lucas Vázquez, Rüdiger, Militao, Mendy, Tchouaméni, Valverde, Modric, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Endrick.
