An insight into the personnel plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Real Madrid for their upcoming meeting with Barcelona has on Thursday been provided.
The info comes courtesy of Blancos insider Melchor Ruiz, and points towards doubts remaining in two specific positions.
Real Madrid are of course currently in the thick of preparations for a potentially season-defining outing this weekend.
Amid ongoing efforts to chase down Barcelona atop the La Liga table, the reigning Spanish champions will make the trip to Catalunya’s capital, for a crunch Clásico showdown.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops head into the fixture aware that a victory is something of a must, with just three gameweeks of the Spanish top-flight season to follow.
And with as much in mind, those in a position of power at Valdebebas remain undecided on the best options to fill two particular positions in the club’s XI.
As per the aforementioned Melchor Ruiz, these questions marks come in midfield, and attack. The first battle comes between Luka Modrić and Dani Ceballos, with the latter between Rodrygo, and Arda Güler.
