Real Madrid vs. Juventus lineups, team news
Alonso’s injury problems in defence are still a few weeks away from easing with four key defenders sidelined.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Dani Carvajal are expected back to full fitness by the end of the month but Antonio Rudiger is out until mid-December.
Fede Valverde will continue at right-back, but David Alaba is unlikely to start two games back-to-back, so Raul Asencio should partner Eder Militao.
Real Madrid predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Courtois (GK) — Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras — Camavinga, Tchouameni — Guler, Bellingham, Vinicius Junior — Mbappe.
Injured: Rudiger (hamstring), Huijsen (calf), Carvajal (calf), Ceballos (muscle), Alexander-Arnold (hamstring).
Suspended: None
Igor Tudor did not flag up any fresh injury concerns after the loss at Como but the Croatian is under real pressure based on Juventus’ poor form.
Federico Gatti could rotate into the visitors defence with USMNT star Weston McKennie in midfield and Canada international Jonathan David leading the attack.
Key pair Fabio Miretti and Gleison Bremer remain out of action for the Turin giants.
Juventus predicted starting XI (3-4-3, right to left): Di Gregorio (GK) — Gatti, Rugani, Kelly — Kalulu, McKennie, Koopmeiners, Cambiaso — Yildiz, David, Conceicao.
Injured: Bremer (knee), Pinsoglio (calf), Miretti (hamstring), Milik (thigh), Cabal (hamstring).
