Real Madrid return to action tonight after the international break with an away tie against Celta Vigo in La Liga.
Ahead of the tricky encounter, manager Carlo Ancelotti has announced the starting XI for the match, with some interesting selections being made.
For starters, Thibaut Courtois is back in goal after having recovered from his injury. Meanwhile, Lucas Vazquez replaces the injured Dani Carvajal at right-back while Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao, back fit, line up as the centre-halves.
In a surprise move, Fran Garcia has gotten the nod ahead of Ferland Mendy at left-back.
Meanwhile, Fede Valverde starts despite having returned late from international duty. He partners Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Jude Bellingham in the centre of the park.
Up top, the duo of Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe, both back to full fitness, start for Real Madrid, with Rodrygo Goes getting benched.
