Asensio at wing-back? Choose your Madrid XI vs Getafe from 2 options!

Real Madrid are without 8 first-team players for the Getafe game, with only 2 centre-backs available (Chust and Militao).

Many senior players are exhausted after playing against Barcelona and Liverpool, with the likes of Kroos and Modric reportedly 'at their physical limit'.

Zidane's options are extremely limited and in the end, everything boils down to how much he would rotate his squad.

Option 1: Start first-teamers where possible

• Three points are three points no matter if you get them against Getafe or Barcelona, so we need our best players.
• We don't have options other than starting Chust and Militao at centre-back but we can keep Modric and Kroos in the midfield.
• They could be replaced later in the game when we make sure the game is won.
• Vini and Benzema get the nod too despite starting against Liverpool.
• Rodrygo is relatively fresh and should use this opportunity to prove himself.

Courtois; Odriozola, Chust, Militao, Marcelo; Modric, Valverde, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius

Option 2: Protect players at all costs

• We don't need new injuries so every outfield player who has been used a lot recently gets a rest.
• It means getting creative with the tactical approach and players' positions.
• Asensio gets to play right wing-back—his defensive awareness could help Odriozola at right centre-back.
• Meanwhile, Alvaro could be deployed as an overlapping centre-back, joining attacks when possible.
• In midfield, Fede Valverde is responsible for defending while Isco plays a more offensive role.
• And Mariano uses his hold-up skills to the fleet-footed Rodrygo and Vinicius.
