TRIBUNA
Carlo Ancelotti has made the bold decision to bench Luka Modric and Toni Kroos for Real Madrid’s La Liga curtain-raiser against Athletic Club, per Luis Sanchez of El Chiringuito.
Carletto wants to give more minutes to the younger midfielders in the squad in the first game. Earlier it was reported that Aurelien Tchouameni will start the game at the weekend.
However, we expect both Modric and Kroos to play a part in the game even of they don’t start.
Here’s what Real Madrid’s midfield is likely to look like against Bilbao.
Real Madrid will face Bilbao on Saturday at 20:30 CET in San Mames.
