La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Monday unveiled the five-man shortlist for the club’s November Player of the Month.
And star names from across Carlo Ancelotti’s squad feature front and centre.
Starting from the back, no.1 Thibaut Courtois is given the nod, after looking back to his brilliant best following a fresh recent spell on the sidelines.
Antonio Rüdiger’s ongoing efforts in holding down the fort amid an injury crisis in Real’s backline are also recognised.
Moving into midfield, and a pair of names have been put forward, in the form of Mr. Reliable Federico Valverde, and a Jude Bellingham who finds himself back amongst the goals at just the right time for Los Blancos.
Finally, rounding out the five-man list, fresh off securing the prize for La Liga Player of the Month for November, is sidelined Real Madrid talisman Vinícius Jr.
The winner is set to be unveiled over the days ahead.
