Gareth Bale is back in the Real Madrid XI for tonight’s trip to Sevilla, but there is no James Rodriguez.
The Welshman starts his first game for Los Blancos in almost a month, replacing Jese Rodriguez to take the left wing in Rafa Benitez’s 4-2-3-1 formation, with Cristiano Ronaldo moving into the lone striker’s role.
Pepe also returns from injury to start alongside Sergio Ramos in central defence, while Kiko Casilla fills in for Keylor Navas between the sticks and Nacho Fernandez is elected to cover the crocked Marcelo at left-back.
Sevilla, meanwhile, hand a second League start of the season to Ciro Immobile, who leads the line in Kevin Gameiro’s absence.
