Neither Fede nor Mastantuono: Xabi Alonso revolutionizes the line-up against Real

The players Xabi Alonso has chosen to secure victory during their visit to Anoeta

Finally, Real Madrid is back after the long and most recent international break. With the club having most of its players, Xabi Alonso has prepared the starting eleven to play against Real Sociedad. The chosen ones are Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras, Tchouaméni, Ceballos, Güler, Brahim, Vinicius, and Mbappé.

As we can see, Xabi Alonso is looking to start September in the best possible way. After finishing August unbeaten, the club intends to win its first match of the month. To secure the victory, Xabi will count on Mbappé, who has managed to keep a high level since the first match of the season.

Among the most notable absences, Eduardo Camavinga won't be able to play this important match. According to Defensa Central, the Frenchman was ready to play the match at Anoeta. Unfortunately, the player still hasn't fully recovered from his injury and will have to wait a few more days.

The starting eleven to return

Since the beginning of the season, Xabi Alonso has shown the important changes he has made at Real Madrid. With constant pressure on the opponent and total commitment to keeping the ball, the club has been completely transformed. Its dominance in previous matches is just a sign of Xabi Alonso's ultimate goal with the team.

In addition to Camavinga's absence, Real Madrid also won't have Endrick, Ferland Mendy, Jude Bellingham, and Antonio Rüdiger. These are significant losses, but Xabi has found solutions with players like Ceballos and Brahim. Despite the international break, players like Huijsen and Tchouaméni will play this match given their importance.

The fourth win of the season

Before debuting in the Champions League against Marseille, Real Madrid is looking to keep its winning streak alive. Leading LaLiga with three straight wins, the club is seeking its fourth consecutive victory to increase the gap over its rivals. While Barcelona is still slightly in the race, Atlético has fallen behind after a disappointing start to the campaign.
