Real Madrid Midfielder Withdraws From Las Palmas Game With Left Leg Injury

Real Madrid will face Las Palmas in a matter of hours. If they avoid defeat, they will look to go to the top of the La Liga table.
Carlo Ancelotti was already without Eduardo Camavinga with an injury picked up against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey. He has learned just hours before kick-off that Aurelien Tchouameni will also be unavailable, suffering from slight discomfort in his left leg.

This means Ancelotti will be without both French midfielders and Luka Modric, who is suspended for the game. Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, and Dani Ceballos will likely start in a midfield three.
Los Blancos will have a young and inexperienced substitutes bench, with Arda Guler the only midfielder who has regularly featured for the first team.
