Real Madrid vs. Levante: Rodrygo is called up for the first time by Zidane and Hazard would make his debut in LaLiga Santander [PHOTOS]

LaLiga has just started, but Real Madrid already has needs. Only one win in three matchdays opens up a four-point gap with the leader, Atlético de Madrid, and they must correct one of the big problems of last season, their weakness at home. They didn't start well, with a draw against Real Valladolid, unable to convert their dominance into goals.

It will be one of the objectives of Real Madrid against Levante, in a match that Zidane arrives shaken by the 'FIFA virus' in one of the most unprotected positions in his team, the midfield. Marcos Llorente and Dani Ceballos left without replacements. The friendlies left Luka Modric and Fede Valverde injured, with Casemiro just arrived.

Thus, in view of the team's deficiencies, Zinedine Zidane chose to call Brazilian young talent Rodrygo Goes on Friday, who appears for the first time in a list of the 'Merengue' team this season. Likewise, the presence of James Rodríguez and Eden Hazard drew attention, both already recovered from their respective injuries. Madrid faces Levante.

The plague of injuries suffered by Real Madrid has Marco Asensio and Isco out, along with Valverde and Modric, plus Gareth Bale's absence due to suspension. Zidane will rebuild his team and think about the conditions of the Champions League debut against PSG.

Along with Hazard's debut, Zidane's options in his 4-4-2 include playing with Lucas Vázquez and a recovered James on the wings. Vinicius has less chances. Levante arrives at the Santiago Bernabéu with the memory of last year's historic triumph and after having chained two consecutive victories in LaLiga just before the international break.
