Real Madrid vs. Rayo Vallecano Lineups, Starting 11, Confirmed Team News, Damage: Bellingham right back in?

Real Madrid resumes their three-way La Liga title match on Sunday as they host Rayo Vallecano in a local Derby match.

Los Blancos slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Real Betis last week to give Barcelona and Atletico Madrid the opportunity to cross them at the top of the position. Barca is three points ahead of Madrid, while Athleti has a two-point gorge for their local rivals.

Madrid claimed a 2-1 win over Diego Simeone’s side in the first stage of the UEFA Champions League round on Tuesday, but with the return restriction just three days after this game, head coach Carlo Ancelotti will consider how much he has to rotate his side to maintain their challenge on all fronts.

Rayo, meanwhile, sits seventh in the table and is firmly hunting to qualify for European football next season.
