Rodrygo to play Benzema's role in Getafe

Karim Benzema is being wrapped in cotton wool. The attacker returned from injury not long ago and Carlo Ancelotti does not want to give him too much game time because the Champions League match with Shahkhtar and 'El Clasico' against Barcelona are fast approaching. 

Despite the fact the coach said that he had not been ruled out for the Getafe match, just half an hour after his comments in the press conference, he left him out of the squad at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Ancelotti prefereed to rest his most dangerous player. 

'Marca' says that, as a result of the Frenchman's absence, Rodrygo is set to start. Without the Frenchman, the Brazilian will be a false 9. 

Carlo Ancelotti will go for the Brazilian duo to look for the goal against Getafe. Rodrygo will be accompanied by Vinicius, the perfect strike partner. 

Between the sticks, Courtois will not be able to take charge because he has a back problem and there is certain concern over the Belgian, who could miss 'El Clasico' if he does not improve. So, Lunin will be between the sticks. 

Real Madrid want to get back top spot, who recently took the lead against Barca (both teams have 19 points, but Barca have scored a goal more). As for Getafe, they are 14th and he is hoping to go up the table away from the relegation zone.
