Athletic vs Real Madrid: LaLiga Matchday 19 lineups

Real Madrid visit Athletic Club this Wednesday in an early match of Matchday 19 of LaLiga due to the Merengue team's participation in the Spanish Super Cup, with the good news that Ancelotti will be able to count on Tchouaméni, who returns to the lineup as a starter .

The Frenchman is 100 percent fit, as confirmed by the Italian coach, who assured that he is available to start, although he did not confirm whether he will use him as a defensive pivot or as a partner to Rüdiger in central defense, where the youth player Asencio seems to have the position secured.

Mazraoui has reportedly cited his religious beliefs as a reason for not joining the initiative, which was organised to coincide with the Premier League's support for Stonewall's rainbow shoelaces campaign.

United , meanwhile, have clarified that Mazraoui or any other player has the right to give their opinion, while confirming their support for the initiative.
