Line-ups: Madrid-Getafe

Carlo Ancelotti restores Iker Casillas to the Real Madrid XI to play Getafe in what could be his final game in charge.

Rumours have swirled this week that President Florentino Perez will axe the Italian at the end of the season, with Rafael Benitez said to be in talks over the Coach’s position.

It had also been speculated that Casillas could call it quits at Santiago Bernabeu this summer, particularly with David De Gea said to be on Los Blancos’ radar.

Ancelotti returns Casillas to the team after Keylor Navas took the gloves against Espanyol, and names Alvaro Arbeloa, Pepe, Nacho and Marcelo in the back four.

Toni Kroos, Asier Illarramendi and James Rodriguez appear to be the midfield three, while Jese and Javier Hernandez get a run out alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Danish starlet Martin Odegaard is among the substitutes, as is Gareth Bale.

Getafe, who, like Madrid have nothing to play for on La Liga’s final day, have Jordi Codina in goal and a back four of Carlos Vigaray, Alexis, Naldo and Sergio Escudero.

Mehdi Lacen and Juan Rodriguez are partnered in midfield and Pedro Leon, Pablo Sarabia and Diego Castro support Fredy Hinestroza.

Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Nacho, Marcelo; Kroos, Illarra, James; Jese, Hernandez, Ronaldo

Subs: Navas, Varane, Bale, Carvajal, Lucas Silva, Isco, Odegaard

Getafe: Codina; Vigaray, Naldo, Alexis, Escudero; Rodriguez, Lacen; Leon, Sarabia, Castro; Hinestroza

Subs: Jona, Velazquez, Baba, Felip, Ivi, Astray, Milla

Referee: Jose Antonio Teixeira Vitienes
