Predicted Real Madrid starting XI vs Fuenlabrada : Isco and Benzema to start

Real Madrid will kick of their 2017-18 Copa dey Rey season with a short trip to Fuenlabrada.

The host club is based in Madrid, founded in 1975 and play in the Segunda División B – Group 1.

The duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos will miss the match as both players missed training yesterday. Keykor Navas, Gareth Bale and Dani Carvajal are all still out injured.

Zidane will most likely rotate the squad, giving some young Madridstas playing time.

Kiko Casilla will start in goal.

Achraf has been impressive in the three games he's played. The Moroccan is composed, and looks comfortable on the attack. He should start at right back. Jesus Vallejo hasn't had enough playing time this season, largely due to injuries. He is fit and this game present a perfect time to see the young centre back in action. Varane should pair the Vallejo in the heart of the defence.

Theo Hernandez is available, but Marcelo comes with attacking vibe and should lead the defence in the absence of Ramos.

Casemiro's stability and physical presence would be a huge asset in shielding the back four. The Brazilian alongside the duo of Ceballos and Llorente should start in midfield.

Isco, Asensio and Benzema make my predicted front three.
Benzema has struggled in front of goal, and needs game of this caliber to build up his confidence.
