After a brilliant start to LaLiga Santander, where Real Madrid is already the leader after beating Deportivo de La Coruña 0-3, this Wednesday they will play against Fiorentina for the Santiago Bernabéu Trophy.
CALL-UP
Zinedine Zidane will be able to count on all the available players for the Santiago Bernabéu Trophy. Only Jesús Vallejo and Mateo Kovacic are doubtful due to muscle injuries.
In addition, Luca Zidane, Manu Hernando, and Tejero, the three from the reserve team, trained with the first team during this week.
PROBABLE XI
The coach of Real Madrid could field a guaranteed XI against Fiorentina, although there are expected to be many changes during the match as it is a friendly.
The probable 'eleven' would be: Kiko Casilla; Achraf, Nacho, Sergio Ramos, Theo; Llorente, Ceballos, Asensio; Lucas, Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
INJURED AND SUSPENDED
Jesús Vallejo has a thigh injury and is doubtful. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo received a five-match suspension and, after missing the second leg of the Supercup, he must serve the four LaLiga matches, but he will start in the Bernabeu Trophy. The Croatian Mateo Kovacic has been carrying discomfort since the Supercup match and is also doubtful.
TIME OF THE MATCH, WHERE TO WATCH IT ON TV
The Santiago Bernabéu Trophy pits Real Madrid against Fiorentina this Wednesday, August 23, at 22:45 in Spain and will be broadcasted by Real Madrid TV.
