An insight into the personnel plans of the coaching staff at Real Madrid for the club’s next outing has on Friday been provided.
Real, of course, are primed to return to action tomorrow night.
Fresh off a morale-boosting victory over Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday, Los Blancos will turn their attentions back towards matters on the domestic front, in a La Liga meeting with Rayo Vallecano.
And, if the latest word doing the rounds in the media is anything to go by, then Carlo Ancelotti is ready to continue relying on the bulk of the XI which triumphed in Bergamo at Vallecas.
As per a report from **[Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/primera-division/2024/12/13/alineaciones-probables-rayo-vallecano-vs-real-madrid.html)**, just two alterations are expected in Real Madrid’s line-up to face Rayo.
These will come in the middle of the park and up top, where Luka Modrić and Rodrygo are in line to step in for Dani Ceballos and the sidelined Kylian Mbappé.
Los Merengues’ predicted XI to face Rayo Vallecano, in full:
**Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Fran Garcia; Valverde, Modric, Bellingham, Brahim; Rodrygo and Vinicius**
