How will Real Madrid lineup against Deportiva Minera in Copa del Rey?

On Monday, Real Madrid will play against Club Deportiva Minera in Copa del Rey, a team that plays in the Second RFEF Division, which was the previous Third Division. It should be in Los Blancos' favor because the game will be played at Cartagena's Cartagonova Stadium, which has natural grass and a respectable capacity. Before their departure to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup, coach Carlo Ancelotti intends to use a different plan as he wants to rotate his players and field a team that can finish first. 

The Copa del Rey is probably Endrick's finest opportunity to change his fortunes. This is because it is now a pivotal point in his future with the club. The strain is growing, and Endrick's first season has not gone as planned. He has only played 160 minutes so far. For the young Brazilian, things have not been easy.  If he wants to earn Ancelotti's trust and demonstrate that he merits greater playing time, a strong performance is required.

He might not have a good chance of moving on to the next round, though, if he doesn't impress and Real Madrid advances. His UEFA Champions League goal against Stuttgart was an exciting moment, but since then, things have not gone as planned for him. A six-month loan for Endrick is not currently being discussed. For five straight games, Ancelotti benched him without allowing him to play a single minute. 

Endrick now has a chance to jump ahead of guys like Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz in the attacking rotation, and the next game may be his only opportunity to do so. Guler is anticipated to be available for Carlo Ancelotti, even though he has been recovering from a small virus.

Real Madrid likely to make changes for Club Deportiva Minera

Antonio Rudiger and Thibaut Courtois, two important players, have been given rest and will not be traveling to Cartagena. During a news conference, Ancelotti did not name the Ukrainian as the team's official Cup goalie, although Andriy Lunin will start in goal. But for the time being, he will lead this contest. The two defensive players anticipated to keep his starting position from the most recent game against Valencia is Aurelien Tchouameeni and Raul Asencio. Lorenzo Aguado, a Castilla player, will have the chance to make his debut at right-back as Lucas Vázquez is probably going to take a break. Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga will start in midfield after being substituted during the game against Mestalla.
