"I know which lineup I'm going to use, but I'm not going to tell you," he joked with the press. And the truth is that 'Carletto' still has some doubts to resolve, and has *tried out* different options in training: *Alaba at left-back, Rudiger and Tchouameni as the center-back pairing, Ceballos as a starter, and... Asensio as right-back!*.

Ceballos, as we have been reporting in recent days, is considered by the white coaching staff a key piece in the team's playing style. He is the player that greases the wheels of Real Madrid's functioning, providing balance in both offensive and defensive phases. His absence for over a month has been strongly felt in the group, and now he has returned, already playing minutes last Sunday at Mendizorroza.

'Carletto' is clear that he wants to have Ceballos as a starter in this final stretch of the campaign.

His presence in the starting lineup will depend on how he feels physically in the coming days. However, the recent training sessions offer some clues about the lineup that could be seen this Wednesday at the Bernabeu: Courtois; Asensio, Rudiger, Tchouameni, Alaba; Ceballos, Valverde, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Mbappe.
