Mourinho names Real Madrid squad with Asencio debut
Asencio makes the squad for the Rayo match at the Bernabéu; Camavinga, Bernardo Silva and Arda Güler return after bans.
Real Madrid, coached by José Mourinho, has announced its squad for the home game against Rayo Vallecano at the Bernabéu on Saturday 12 September (21:00, Orange and Dazn), as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Key returns
The main surprise is Asencio, who makes his first matchday squad appearance this season. Mourinho also brings back Camavinga, Bernardo Silva and Arda Güler after they missed the Champions League game versus Inter due to suspension.
On the injury side, the coach cannot count on Rodrygo, Militao and Endrick. The lineup also includes repeat starters such as Tchouaméni, Endrick and Thiago, while there are essentially no youth players in the squad except Thiago, who despite being Castilla-registered is working with the senior group, plus de Mestre as the third goalkeeper.
Full squad list
- Defenders: Asencio, Huijsen, Trent, Konaté, Cucurella, Á. Carreras, Rüdiger and Dumfries.
- Midfielders: Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Bernardo and Thiago.
- Forwards: Vini Jr., Endrick, Mbappé, C. Espí, Brahim and Yan Diomande.
