An exciting duel will take place this Saturday in Las Vegas, United States. Real Madrid will face Barcelona in their preseason preparation and will do so with two important absences. Carlo Ancelotti ruled out Karim Benzema and Dani Carvajal for the clash against the azulgranas.
None traveled from Los Angeles, where the white squad is doing their final preparation, to Las Vegas. In the case of Benzema, the Frenchman did not start the preseason in Valdebebas with the rest of his teammates, he joined the group directly in the United States after enjoying more days off, so the coaching staff decided not to take him into account for the classic.
Benzema's place could be taken by Eden Hazard or Rodrygo, a key player in the last Champions League. The Brazilian was a change that always worked for Carlo Ancelotti.
On the other hand, the Spanish defender suffered a blow to his right ankle last Thursday and did not take part in the last training sessions of Carletto's team. Everything indicates that Carvajal's replacement will be Lucas Vázquez.
The Spanish forward Borja Mayoral, who will join the concentration in the United States after meeting the local covid 19 vaccination requirements, will also not play the match against Barcelona, the first one that Real Madrid will play in their preseason.
Thus, Ancelotti has twenty-six players for the Soccer Champions Tour match that will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this Saturday at 10:00 am (Peruvian time).
