Real Madrid probable lineup to face Granada: Who will partner Rodrygo in the attack?

After reclaiming the top spot and securing first place in the Champions League, Real Madrid aims for a victory at the Santiago Bernabéu to strengthen their position on the table.

This opportunity arises as long as their direct rivals (Atlético and Barcelona) drop points in their match on Sunday at 21:00.

Carlo Ancelotti only regains Kepa from the list of injured players, exercising caution with Modric. The upcoming week provides a more relaxed schedule for the potential recovery of other players.

Concerning the lineup, Ancelotti repeats the field player selection, including youth talents like Mario Martín, Nico Paz, Theo, and Gonzalo.

Uncertainty surrounds the physical condition of key players who underwent significant exertion in the clash against Napoli, such as Bellingham, Rodrygo, Ceballos, and Brahim.

The question mark also revolves around who will partner with Rodrygo in the attack.

Brahim performed well in that role against Napoli, and Ancelotti, known for not changing a winning formula, might opt to give him more minutes.

Meanwhile, Joselu could start on the bench, awaiting his chance later on.

Potential lineup: Lunin; Carvajal, Rüdiger, Alaba, Mendy; Ceballos, Valverde, Kroos, Bellingham; Rodrygo and Brahim.
