Xabi Alonso has selected 22 players for the match against Celta Vigo this Sunday evening at the Santiago Bernabéu. Among them is Joan Martínez, a defender from Castilla and one of the promising talents of the Madrid team. His inclusion is due to several defensive absences: Trent, Carvajal, Huijsen, Alaba, and Mendy are all unavailable for this match. Multiple clubs, including some from the Premier League, are already monitoring the 18-year-old player, but Real Madrid has secured his future by recently extending his contract with a release clause of €150 million.
On a positive note for the Merengues, Eduardo Camavinga is indeed part of the squad. The French player, who sustained an ankle injury during the match at San Mamés, was uncertain but appears to have recovered, allowing him to be called up for the clash against Celta. According to Spanish media, Joan Martínez is expected to start on the bench but is integrated into the squad dynamics, ready to make his debut if needed.
