Casemiro starts in central defence for an attack-minded Real Madrid as they look to turn around their Copa del Rey quarter-final against Celta Vigo.
The absences of Raphael Varane, Pepe and Marcelo have led Zinedine Zidane to the ambitious decision of dropping midfield anchorman Casemiro into Madrid’s back four, despite Fabio Coentrao being named a substitute.
Elsewhere for Los Blancos, there are inclusions on the bench for rookies Achraf Hakimi, the Castilla left-back, and Enzo Zidane, son of Zizou.
Celta, meanwhile, make two changes from their shock 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu last week, which sees the Galicians line up in a 4-4-2 formation and bring in John Guidetti to partner the free-scoring Iago Aspas up top.
