Possible Real Madrid lineup against Juventus in the Club World Cup Round of 16

Possible Real Madrid lineup against Juventus in the Club World Cup Round of 16

Real Madrid and Juventus are in one of the most exciting matches of the Club World Cup Round of 16. The Whites are in a better mood after starting the tournament with doubts but finishing the group stage first and feeling good.

The opposite of the Italians, who started with two thrashings but fell 5-2 to Manchester City to finish second in the group and face Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso will be able to count on Mbappé up front. The Frenchman missed the first training session on June 17 due to a fever that led to acute gastroenteritis. Once recovered, he'll be back on the Hard Rock Stadium pitch; the big question is whether he'll start or come off the bench. Gonzalo García 's excellent performance and Kylian's injury could mean the youth player will continue as a starter.

Another question mark arises in the center of Madrid's defense. Asencio has already served his suspension after being sent off against Pachuca. Rüdiger took his place, and it's unclear who will partner Huijsen at center back, or whether Tchouaméni will play as a third defender.

Carvajal and Militao are returning after long-term injuries, and it seems unlikely they'll get any playing time in the tournament. The Tolosa native will be without Alaba , who will be out for a month with a soleus muscle injury in his left leg; Endrick , who joined the squad on Monday; and Camavinga , who is close to returning.

Juventus , coached by Igor Tudor, qualified for the Champions League this year and returned to the European elite. The club continues to rely on the Croatian coach, who will be out in Savona due to a sprained ankle. However, Locatelli is back and will return to the starting lineup after rotating Yildiz, Thuram, and Cambiaso.

Possible Real Madrid-Juventus lineups
  • Possible Real Madrid lineup: Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Tchouaméni, Huijsen, Fran García; Valverde, Güler, Bellingham; Vinicius and Gonzalo.
  • Possible Juventus lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; A. Costa, McKennie, K. Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceiçao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani.
