Predicted Real Madrid line-up vs Getafe: Isco back but Bale left out?

Real Madrid will be aiming to bag all three points when they take on fourth-placed Getafe in a derby clash at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez this week.

Real Madrid have been handed an injury boost with Thibaut Courtois returning to training. However, Navas should once again pip Courtois to the starting berth against Getafe.

Jesus Vallejo made a rare start against Bilbao at the weekend and made a huge impression, which could see him feature once again from the get-go ahead of Nacho.

Federico Valverde was hugely impressive in the 1-1 draw against Leganes a week ago, but Zidane could opt for the experience of Toni Kroos ahead of the Uruguayan on Thursday, meaning there are unlikely to be any changes in the middle of the park either.

Coming to the attacking department, Vinicius Junior still isn’t ready for a return according to the manager.

Marco Asensio had a decent outing at the weekend and should once again feature on the left side of the three-pronged Real Madrid attack. Lucas Vazquez started on the opposite flank last time out, but could be replaced by compatriot Isco, with Gareth Bale missing out once again.

Benzema is a guaranteed starter as the lone striker for Real Madrid.
