Today at 17:15 in the Spanish "La Liga" championship, an intriguing confrontation between Madrid's "Real" and "Sevilla" awaits. The coach of the "White" team Santiago Solari will definitely not be able to rely on the strongest lineup. Due to injuries, Gareth Bale, Marco Asensio, Toni Kroos, Mariano Diaz, and Marcos Llorente have been out of the lineup for some time. In addition to the injured players, Keylor Navas, who has been defending the goal in the last three matches, has also joined the ranks. The Costa Rican's role grew not by chance - Thibaut Courtois was also recovering from an injury. After losing K. Navas and selling Kiko Casilla, "Real" lost the luxury in the goalkeeper position. Luckily, T. Courtois managed to recover and was registered for the match against "Sevilla", but he returned to training just a few days ago. Karim Benzema trained with the team after a small finger injury and, despite the injury, is ready to take to the field. "Sevilla" and "Real" have the same amount of points in the tournament table, so a victory for either team would allow them to move three points away. The first clash between these clubs in this season in Seville ended with a humiliation of the "Real" team - the Andalusians defeated them 3-0.
