Additionally, Lucas Vázquez will be unavailable due to suspension.

Vázquez’s absence has prompted a crucial decision from the coaching staff, as he is the only fit right-back available.

As a result, another player will need to step into this unfamiliar position on Wednesday.

Federico Valverde is one possible candidate, but, according to Cortegana, 21-year-old Raúl Asencio could also be given the opportunity to start at right-back, having made his Madrid debut just last November.
