After an XXL performance against Celta, Eduardo Camavinga is returned to the Real Madrid midfield for the match against Osasuna this Saturday. Aurélien Tchouaméni is placed back in defense.

Isn’t Eduardo Camavinga, who is still only 21 years old, becoming essential at Real Madrid? The French international produced a remarkable performance in last weekend’s 4-0 win over Celta de Vigo in La Liga. He is renewed as number 6 for the Merengues meeting on the Osasuna field, this Saturday (4:15 p.m.) in Pamplona.

Real, the big leader in La Liga, can take a 10-point lead over Girona, which plays Getafe on Sunday. Barça has one point less than the surprise team of the season, but challenges Atlético in the clash of this 29th day, Sunday evening.

The Real Madrid lineup: Lunin – Carvajal, Tchouaméni, Rüdiger, Mendy – Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos – Brahim – Rodrygo, Vinicius.
