Iker Casillas will not be the only change made by Carlo Ancelotti on Wednesday in the Champions League. Against FC Copenhagen, the Real Madrid manager is contemplating shuffling his cards in every department.
Luka Modric, who did not get to start against Atlético de Madrid, will be one of the two central midfielders alongside Illarramendi, while Khedira will be rested.
On the right wing Gareth Bale might appear. He did take part in the derby and is recovering fitness following the injury which stopped him from starting against Getafe. Di María could be the one to lose out.
Morata, meanwhile, will replace the out-of-form Benzema up front.

The Bernabéu names and shames
Three Real Madrid players are falling out of favour with fans (Arbeloa, Khedira and Coentrao), whilst another has already fallen. That is Karim Benzema, with whom the fans have finally lost their patience. With five seasons under his belt, the Frenchman has yet to fulfil his talent, while his attitude leaves a lot to be desired.
Arbeloa, Khedira and Coentrao’s situation is not as serious, although the Bernabéu faithful has taken aim at them too. Nobody is reproaching their commitment, just their inaccuracy on the ball.
The presence of these players is generating so much bad blood at the Bernabéu that the club’s directors have recommended to Ancelotti that he should protect them in an attempt to cool things down. "We have to defuse the tension," is the message coming out of some offices at the club.
