Real Madrid take on Eibar on Saturday at 1pm CET. Coach Santiago Solari will have captain Sergio Ramos back after he left the Spain squad with some adductor problems.

The coach will be able to start the skipper, which is good news considering their defensive problems. The last time the first choice back line of Carvajal, Varane, Ramos and Marcelo played was on September 15 against Athletic Club. Injuries have forced others to come in, but in the last game Casemiro and Nacho were injured.

 

Solari's doubt is right-back. Odriozola has done well and even though Carvajal is fit again, maybe the new signing can keep his place. Marcelo and Varane are back, along with Mariano. Jesus Vallejo is still injured but he hasn't played this season yet at all.
