Dani Carvajal is out of the La Liga matchday 7 fixture between Real Madrid and Alaves after picking up a nasty quadriceps injury that forced him to be substituted against Espanyol on Saturday. Carlo Ancelotti will not risk his second captain in the week ahead of the Metropolitano derby against Atletico.
The Italian coach reinforces his defence with the call-up of academy right-back David Jimenez and centre-back Jacobo Ramon, who has recovered from the muscle problem that has kept him out of recent first-team squad lists.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham, who again felt discomfort in his left shoulder after a bad fall against Espanyol, remains on the squad list and can play with protection on the injured area as he did for much of last season.
Carlo Ancelotti has no remaining injured players back, but confirmed that it will be the last game without Eduardo Camavinga, who will be available for the Madrid derby after overcoming a sprained knee. More recovery time remains for Alaba, Brahim and Ceballos.
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin and Fran Gonzalez
Defenders: Lucas Vazquez, Rudiger, Militao, Jesus Vallejo, Jacobo, Ferland Mendy, Fran Garcia and David Jimenez
Midfielders: Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler
Forwards: Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo and Endrick
