Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal is expected to be back in the first XI for his team's second match of the 2022-23 La Liga campaign against Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

Carvajal missed out against Almeria last time out through injury, but the right-back is back in the squad for this match and should start.

Rodrygo, though, remains on the sidelines with a muscular problem, and he has been joined by Alvaro Odriozola (muscle) and Toni Kroos (illness), with the pair also not in the squad.

There will be no Casemiro for the champions, with the Brazil international on his way to Manchester United, but there will be changes from the side that started the 2-1 win over Almeria.

Carvajal, Eder Militao and David Alaba should all come into the defence, while Luka Modric is expected to be back in midfield alongside Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni.

Antonio Rudiger and Tchouameni were both starters against Almeria on their La Liga debuts, but the latter was replaced just before the hour after finding it difficult to make his mark.

Meanwhile, Eduardo Camavinga was substituted at the interval, with Modric his replacement, but Casemiro's departure means that the former should keep his spot.

There are unlikely to be any changes in the final third of the field, with Federico Valverde, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior likely to continue as the front three.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius
