Éder Militão remains out of action due to a thigh injury. The Brazilian defender underwent surgery after a problem with the biceps femoris in his left leg and is out for the rest of the season. Real Madrid faces Real Oviedo this Thursday at Santiago Bernabéu in round 36 of LaLiga Espanha.
The Merengue team occupies second place with 77 points. Real Oviedo is at the bottom with 29 points. The match starts at 4:30 pm on Brasília.
Ausência of Éder Militão reinforces absences in Real Madrid’s defense
The defender suffered the injury in April against Alavés and underwent surgery. Recovery should last several months. Álvaro Arbeloa sets up the defense with Antonio Rüdiger and Raúl Asencio as main options.
Outros absences include Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy and Arda Güler. Isso limits rotations in the defensive sector for the duel against the last placed team.
- Thibaut Courtois
- Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rüdiger, Raúl Asencio, Fran García
- Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni
- Brahim Díaz, Jude Bellingham, Gonzalo García
- Vinícius Júnior
The likely lineup maintains what Arbeloa used in recent games. Courtois returns to goal after recovery period.
Real Oviedo seeks point with compact defense
The Asturian club is fighting relegation. Aarón Escandell should be the goalkeeper. Rahim Alhassane, Dani Calvo, David Costas and Nacho Vidal make up the line four. Thiago Fernández, Alejandro Reina, Santi Colombatto and Ismael Chaira play in the middle. Fede Viñas and Ilyas Chaira lead the charge.
The team prioritizes strong marking to try to secure the result in Bernabéu.
